Description
"A perfect read for those who enjoy stories such as Game of Thrones, Vikings and The Tudors." -Pacific Book Review
Coming to his senses in a place he's never seen before, Alfred discovers he has survived the deadly sickness sweeping the land and has also managed, quite by accident, to find his family. But he's also a traitor to the Crown for desertion on the field of battle, so he and his family must live in complete seclusion in a remote corner of Gwen's homeland. Avoiding all contact with the outside world lest the king's spies discover their whereabouts, they have no idea what is happening with the war, if the king has turned on the lords for dissolving the kingdom, or if they will ever be able to return home.
When horsemen are spotted in the forest one wintry morning, the chill that runs through the cottage has nothing to do with the temperature outside.

Person
Pamela Taylor's "trip of a lifetime" may have been the one where she got to touch a 700-year-old book and examine the account rolls for the construction of a gothic cathedral. A self-professed history-geek, she finds the past offers rich sources of character, ambiance, and story that allow readers to escape into a world totally unlike their daily lives."Weaving a narrative around gaps or exploring contradictions in the historical record is fertile ground for the novelist," she says. "And just as intriguing as imagining the lives of actual historical figures."Pamela shares her home with two Pembroke Welsh Corgis who frequently remind her that a dog walk is the best inspiration for that next chapter.
