Many of you may not know that Madeline
Hunter has a Medieval series… but she does.
This one is set on the Scottish border
in 1357. It tells the story of an English knight, Ian of Guilford, dubbed “Lord
of a Thousand Nights” for his prowess with women, and Lady Reyna Graham, a
widow who is desperate to save her people and her home, Black
Lyne Keep, from Ian’s assault. One night, she sneaks out and into his
tent, posing as a prostitute. She thinks to kill him, however, Ian knows women
and he knows this one is not an experienced woman.
Following her retreat back into the
keep, he finds the passage that allows his men to take the keep without a
siege. Once captured, she and her people are under his control. There is a fair
amount of suspense, witty banter, and sex, as well as some good secondary
characters to keep you entertained.
Ian turns out to be nobler that one
might think initially. And Reyna is a well-loved noble heroine of good
intentions gone awry. There’s mystery in their backgrounds and Hunter does a
great job of revealing those at the end.
This is the last of Hunter’s 14th Century London Medieval
series and some of the couples in the other stories are characters in this one.
All are highly recommended:
By Possession
By Design
Stealing Heaven
By Arrangement
The Protector
Lord of a Thousand
Nights
