This is the second book by this author I have read, and I think I'm becoming a firm fan. It is set in 1193, on the tourney fields of France. Monday is born to a runaway noble woman and a poor knight but when they both die, she comes under the care of her father's friend, Hervi. But Hervi's younger brother, Alexander, soon falls in love and takes advantage of her. Pregnant and destitute, she runs away, determined to find a better life for herself and her illegitamate child. But war is brewing and old enemies won't leave her alone - and thoughts of Alexander are never far away.

Fast-paced, plenty of action and yet all about the romance - you can't get better than that. Althought the death of Hervi's horse, Soleil, had me in tears as he is the same colour as my own!! I'm not sure I want to get rid of this, but definately need more room, so it's going to travel the world with other bookcrossers instead. Hope you like it as much as I did.

RELEASE NOTES:

Sending as a Wishlist RABCK to another bookcrosser - hope you enjoy.

I just got this book in the mail this morning, along with The Falcons of Montabard. :) Thank you so much!
