Product Description
Book Description
A spell-binding historical novel set in the 12th century
Product Description
Renard, heir to Ravenstow, is a crusader in Antioch, a place far removed from the cold Welsh Marches of his birth. Summoned home to his ailing father, Renard brings Olwen with him, an exotic dancing girl whose sensuous beauty and wild ways have ensnared him. Yet, in a political match made by their families, Renard is already betrothed to the innocent Elene and he knows he is also returning to the duty of marriage. Torn between Olwen and Elene, Renard's personal dilemma is set against a background of increasing civil strife as Ranulf of Chester, his greedy neighbour, strives to snatch his lands. When Renard is taken prisoner at the Battle of Lincoln, his fate is placed in the hands of the two women - his former mistress, now in the bed of his deadliest enemy, and his determined yet inexperienced wife, protecting his lands against terrible odds . . .

Format:Paperback
Having read most of EC books I eagerly awaited this one being the final one in the trilogy..Unfortunately I was diappointed with poor storyline and some characters forgotten about and the reader not quite knowing their outcome! I have learnt now that this one of her earlier novels and perhaps I should have given it a miss.
I found the novel poor in content, quite short and easy to put down where normally her books are a right rivetting read.
All in all I would still recommend some of her later works they are brilliant.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
As expected, an enjoyable sequel to The Wild Hunt. Elizabeth Chadwick's books are always a pleasure to read because her research into the period is excellent and her narrative is colourful and dramatic. Her battle scenes are superbly addressed and the attention to the weaponry of the time and how it was employed actively engages the reader's imagination. Finally, her characters never fail to please and stimulate the interest to the extent that once begun, it is difficult to put the book down. Highly recommended, but although this stands well alone, having read The Wild Hunt sets the scene and is an additional advantage in that the main characters are already familiar.
Format:Paperback
This novel, in my opinion , was way below the quality of Elizabetf Chadwick's usual high standard. Far too much sex and bedroom romps. It seems that her story was so thin that she did this to pad out the story. Very disappointing.
