In 1516 Scotland, a sickly Lord Haldane sends his thane Sir Baden Blackbade to London to escort the man's former lover, Lady Caroline, their illegitimate child (his only heir), and her cousin Lady Sara to the safety of Cinderhall. When Baden arrives, he learns that he is too late because the lady and her child had already fled the city. Baden soon finds the corpse of Caroline and another woman. Sara thinks that Haldane's men did the dastardly deed. Soon, Baden catches up to Sara and the charge she has sworn to keep safe. Remembering the death bed message of Caroline, Sara does not trust the knight even as she finds herself very attracted to him. Baden finds himself desiring the intrepid guardian, who he constantly rescues even as she continually betrays him in order to keep her little charge safe. However, the long and winding road is dangerous with their love being the strongest weapon they posses to help keep them alive so that they can obtain a safe haven to explore a future together. Like the magic of the Dragonheart that introduces and links Shona, Rachel, and Sara in THE LADY AND THE KNIGHT's opening chapter, the first novel in the "Highland Brides" trilogy is a magical medieval romance that will thrill fans of the sub-genre. The story line is crisp and makes for a facile, but fun reading experience, and the lead protagonists are a lovely couple, especially when they argue, fuss, and fight. After perusing this book, fans will impatiently await Lois Greiman's next two books (the stories of Shona and Rachel) to be released. Harriet Klausner
