Synopsis

Renard, heir to Ravenstow, is a crusader far from the cold Welsh Marches of his birth.

Torn between Olwen and Elene, Renard’s personal struggle 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

Gloriously rich and acutely evocative, this beautifully atmospheric tale is simply breathtaking!

I would have given a higher rating if the characters and emotional impact had supported the level of writing skill in this novel.

It finally arrived from England! (Hurray!) As soon as I finish the current book, I'm diving into this one -- I simply can't resist an unread EC novel at hand. Ok, after blasting through this one in a day, I can say, I keep being impressed. Quite a tangle of characters here -- Misfit, you are right a......more
