Love story: Gwydion, Welshman seeking to avenge his murdered family and reclaim his estate, and Elise who believes she has killed her abusive husband and is fleeing with her servant Annora. Their paths cross as they travel the Trackway and the old Roman Road from southern Wales to Conwy in the north where Gwydion's castle has been taken over by the villain, Sir Nicolas. Another very disagreeable villain is Maelgwyn, Elise's abusive, murderous husband. ( )

The author's writing style was excellent. While the plot didnt go as fast paced as I normally like...I found myself settling in and just enjoying the writing. I really felt that Guill transported me to Wales in the fourteenth century. Two things in favor of her....1. I liked the representation of people's superstitions at the time and 2. the fear of the plague, even though it had ended two years previously. A Highly recommended book to anyone who enjoys historical fiction. ( )

Description du livre

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0743264797, Paperback)

It is 1351 in Wales, a country subjugated by England, beaten down by superstition, war, and illness. Elise, prone to strange visions and the sole survivor of a plague-ravaged family, has fled her village for distant Conwy with her servant Annora, running from a murder she was forced to commit in self-defense.

On the road, they cross paths with Gwydion, a moody Welshman seeking to avenge his murdered family and reclaim his estate, and are drawn into a bloody confrontation with another traveler. In its aftermath, Elise and Gwydion find themselves shocked by their developing feelings for each other, and they part.

As the women ultimately reach Conwy, a menacing shadow from Elise's past creeps toward her, and she must face it to find the peace she longs for, and help Gwydion recapture his home, and her heart, in the process.

In a dazzling narrative where mysterious visions, powerful desire, and dark secrets from the past converge, Jane Guill spins a masterful tale of romance, revelation, and breathtaking suspense.
