1143 and finally King Owain is to marry. If only the curse could be lifted and a killer found. Gareth and Gwen with the help of Prince Hywel investigate.
Enjoyable, well-written story. ( )

On the eve of King Owain's wedding to Cristina, there is an assassination attempt thwarted by Gareth. It's up to this knight and his soon to be wife, Gwen, to figure the plot out as murder and vanishing suspects cause chaos in Aber.

Sometimes, sequels can feel forced and give a different feel than the first. Not so with this one! It builds on the world the author had built up in the first book and expands it. The characters are the ones we came to know before, and the mystery set before them is one that kept me guessing right to the end.

Gareth and Gwen work together perfectly in pursuing the murderer. They each have their strengths and weaknesses. They are eager to finally be married, but of course, murder and mayhem get in the way. Together, they weed out a traitor in King Owain's court. (Still not used to the majority of these names!)

This is a series for anyone who enjoys clean writing, medieval maids and knights, and a good mystery. ( )

Not as good as the first one ( )
