Margery’s cruel husband is now dead. As a wealthy widow, she has no intention of returning to the bonds of marriage. But she cannot turn away her handsome knight, no matter the depth of innocent blood he spilled in the name of honor and duty. As Matthew forces himself to fulfill feudal obligations, and Margery’s unrest turns treasonous, the forces of king and kingdom may prove the lovers’ ultimate undoing or their best hope. From the Publisher: Readers with a passion for history will appreciate the author’s penchant for detail and accuracy. This story contains scenes of brutality which are true to the time and man’s inhumanity. There are a limited number of sexual scenes and NO use of modern vulgarity. Fans of Elizabeth Chadwick, Bernard Cornwell and Philippa Gregory as well as Tamara Leigh and Suzan Tisdale will not want to miss this historically accurate series.
I was captivated by the beautiful covers from the start and that captivation just carried straight through from page one to the end of each book. ~Jeannette R Holtham
Steeped in history, Within a Forest Dark speaks of a brutal time in fourteenth century England and France. Ms Johnson’s obvious knowledge and research of that era is astounding and she therefore has the ability to bring it alive for the reader. ~Margaret Watkins, eBook Discovery THE KNIGHTS OF ENGLAND, in series order The Lion and the Leopard A Knight There Was Within A Forest Dark A Child Upon The Throne Lords Among the Ruins
