Historical Fantasy Scotland ~~ 14th Century
Left to fend for themselves in a time and place they
knew nothing about, U.S. Navy Pilot Alex MacNeil and his wife
Lindsay have made the best of their situation. After meeting Robert
the Bruce, Alex was made an earl, and now he and Lindsay live
in relative comfort. But Scotland and the surrounding lands are
being torn apart by war, and betrayal lurks around every corner.
Six months ago, Lindsay learned that she was one
of the fey, and now the knight, An Reubair, wants her for his
own and will use his magical wiles to get her. When Alex is wounded
during a surprise attack, and Lindsay is kidnapped, she will have
to rely on her own powers to keep from falling under An Reubair's
enticing charm and to wait for the man she loves to find her in
all this madness.
A follow-up to KNIGHT'S TENEBRAE and KNIGHT'S BLOOD,
Julianne Lee's KNIGHT'S LADY is a gripping fantasy filled with
magic and intrigue. Lush descriptions of Scotland accompany clever
writing, as readers are pulled into this mystical world. Alex
and Lindsay have definitely made the most of their new life, but
still struggle with their modern sensibilities, which have caused
some strife between them and their people. They still don't know
whom to trust in this place, for both humans and fey all have
their own agendas. Secondary characters, such as the mysterious
Trefor and the alluring An Reubair, are just a couple of the people
Alex and Lindsay come in contact with, all of whom play an important
role in their fate. Since this is part of a series, I highly recommend
reading the first two titles, as situations and characters from
those books are mentioned throughout.
An absorbing and intelligent fantasy by Julianne
Lee, KNIGHT'S LADY will keep many readers entertained.
