The warm, comfortable family life of young Nesta, daughter of Prince Rhys of Deheubarth is destroyed when her father is killed and she is taken hostage. Her honour is further tarnished when she is taken as an unwilling concubine by King William's ruthless younger brother Henry, who later ascends the throne under suspicious circumstances. Gerald FitzWalter, an ambitious young knight is rewarded for his unwavering loyalty to his new King with Nesta's hand in marriage. He is delighted, having always admired her from afar, but Nesta's only comfort is her return to her beloved Wales where cannot help but be tempted by the handsome, charismatic and dangerous son of the Welsh prince, Owain. When he offers her the chance to join him in his plan to overthrow Norman rule she must choose between her duty and her desire . . .

March #bookspin list! The Nebula shortlist should be announced mid-month so I've saved a good chunk of my list for that. My library hold on the new Ali Hazelwood should also come in. Other than that, it's mostly books I'm in the middle of, so hopefully I'll be able to make good progress on this list!

Thanks @thearomaofbooks 🙂

An excellent piece of historical fiction about lesser known characters. Well written and researched, I found it gripping and was eager to pick up the book to read on. It combines fact with fiction making for a fascinating and informative read.

Another fabulous read from Chadwick, never fails to keep me entertained. 11/12 century Wales and the shenanigans between the English and the Welsh and the poor women stuck in the middle.
Good stuff 👍🏻
