Synopsis

It has been said that the Plantagenet royal family is full of vipers. No one knows that so well as Sir Fox de Merest, a knight of the highest order once given the ultimate assignment—to protect a royal bastard from the rage of Eleanor of Aquitaine. It was a task he failed miserably at—he fell in love with the woman he was supposed to protect, which resulted in her being committed to a nunnery.

As the trainer known as "The Protector" at the most elite warrior training school in England, Fox has carved out a niche for himself training new recruits and distancing himself from the crushing failure of being unable to protect his love from a furious queen. No one knows of his past, but ten years after his abject failure, the subject rears its ugly head again.

Fox's lady love was Gisele of Hampshire, and now her uncle, King John, is brokering a treaty that would see her plucked from the convent thrust into the limelight of a strategic marriage. Fox is now tasked with saving her from a marriage that would cause her death and taking her to safety—again. At William Marshal's request, he must take a leave from Blackchurch to try and finish what he started those years ago.

Contains mature themes.

Goodreads review by Shirley on August 01, 2024

This book really touched my heart. I think it’s one of the most heartfelt books by Wanda Brunstetter that I’ve read. It made me sad for the characters and my heart ached for Elsie Petersheim as she grieved so much for her missing daughter. Not knowing whether Rosa was alive or dead. Did she leave he......more

Goodreads review by Linda on October 24, 2024

I received a copy for review purposes; all opinions are honest and mine alone. With a male protagonist being the lead character, THE PROTECTOR, by Wanda Brunstetter, is a departure from her regular Amish fiction. What’s even more of a decampment from this genre queen’s usual fare is the relentless, w......more

They all did their best to be caring and compassionate. Elsie touched my heart the most. I can't imagine my chil......more

Goodreads review by Jennie on October 21, 2024

I have read many of Wanda Brunstetter and loved them all, but this book was not one that I enjoyed. The story is about a family whose oldest daughter goes missing, and how each family member is affected. That’s pretty much it in a nutshell. I will be interested in reading the next book in the series......more
