The breathtaking conclusion of the Norman Brides Series with a special preview of the author's new book: The Young Madonna

An ancient legend…A thousand year old family heirloom…A lost kingdom…

A young Saxon lord, his family estates forfeited in the Norman invasion, his sisters married to Norman lords…
What happens now? Where does he go? What will he become?

From the devastation of the past Michel must carve out a future for himself.
His search takes him back to the remote kingdom of Calei, a land his grandfather ruled until he was betrayed by a close friend and murdered in his sleep, forcing his young, pregnant wife to flee into the surrounding mountains. The life Michel's grandmother built in Saxony was the one that now lay in ruins around him. Most of his family was killed in the Norman invasion and the grand family estate he grew up in now belonged to a Norman lord.

With his older brothers dead, it was left to him to keep the promise his grandmother made to her husband's loyal guard…that one day the blood of the true king would return and restore the throne of Calei.

But Michel would soon discover that not everyone in his grandfather's kingdom was eager to welcome a descendent of the true king. Michel is confronted by enemies on all sides. Deadly betrayals lurk behind the smiles of false friends. Temptation waits in the tantalizing innocence of his predecessor's young niece, Elena.

In order to find the peace he desperately seeks, Michel will need to draw on his skill with a sword and the loyalty of his highly trained men. The rules of war he understands…blood, sacrifice and the seductive promise of death. These he does not fear… but just when his future seems assured Michel realizes there are some enemies that cannot be defeated by a man's sword and his skill in wielding one. What defense can a man raise against an ancient curse on his blood? Is it fair of him to surrender to his growing desire for Elena and risk entangling her even more deeply in the darkness menacing him?
