SYNOPSIS :
In the wild, windswept Welsh marches a noble young lord rides homewards, embittered, angry and in danger. He is Guyon, lord of Ledworth, heir to threatened lands, husband-to-be of Judith of Ravenstow. Their union will save his lands - but they have yet to meet...For this is Wales at the turn of the twelfth century. Dynasties forge and fight, and behind the precarious throne of William Rufus political intrigue is raging. Caught amidst the violence are Judith and Guyon, bound together yet poles apart. But when a dark secret from the past is revealed and the full horror of war crashes over Guyon and Judith, they are forced to face insurmountable odds. Together..
Wow !! This is another masterpiece form Elizabeth Chadwick. In her usual buoyant style, Chadwick takes us into the wild , wild, wild welsh marches which were the action scene of soo many wars fought in history. What is especially loved about this book is the heroine : Judith. Judith is a gem . She is saucy, knows sword fighting, defies convention and all in all the total an thesis of a demure medieval child bride. I love how her relationship blossomed with Guy and how together they faced the onslaughts of other political schemers
