England, 1075, a time of raging feuds and men who pledge their sword for king and country, an era brought masterfully to life in this epic tale of a powerful Norman warrior and the woman who is his destiny... Tristan D'Argent returns from battle to claim the keep bequeathed to him by King William, only to find his lands under the ruthless control of a treacherous rival--a man who has secured Tristan as his stepdaughter's betrothed. Determined to get his due without being trapped in marriage, Tristan prepares to win by any means necessary, only to be confronted by the beautiful face of the woman who haunts his dreams. She is Haith, the half-sister of his bartered bride. Haith never imagined seeing the man of her moonlit visions in the flesh, or worse, as her greatest tormentor. Caught in the bitter treachery of sworn enemies, neither Tristan's strong words nor tender promises can quell her fear that their destinies have not yet begun to play out...in a time where the might of men rules with a vengeance, and the warrior who fights for love takes the greatest risk of all....… (más)
AUTHOR WRITING STYLE IN THIS BOOK: Borderline a book that might be considered to be young adult. A fairy tale of sorts. The book references to the idea of soul mates.
SYNOPSIS Set in England 1066. Greanly Manor is leveled by Normans with very few survivors. The King commissioned Greanly to be rebuilt and Tristan, a great knight, to become Lord over that village. He arrives to find that the surviving inhabitants moved to Seacrest Manor under the oversight of Lord Nigel (the bad guy) who was charged by the King to take in the surviving villagers of Greanly. Haith, a Greanly survivor, and Tristan have dreamed of each other since they were little children but have never met. Through Haith's actions, she continuously denies in her mind that Tristan is her soul mate. There is also the fact that the King has ordered Tristan to marry Haith's half sister and very best friend, Soleibert.
FAVORITE: Tristan goes to Seacrest and moves most of his people back to Greanly.
LEAST FAVORITE PART: Pharao comes up missing

3.5 STARS - I thought there would be more to this story. I felt it was too close but not quite to reading a book in the young adult section. I did however enjoy the story line. ( )

October 1066, Seacrest Manor, England
"The lord is dead, my lady. England has fallen." The soldier knelt before Ellora, Lady of Seacrest, in respect and exhaustion. The crude metal rings of his mail were packed with damp and drying mud, and he stank of cold and filth, despair and sweat.
