Publisher's summary
The only clue to Nicodemus' past is the ruby crucifix found in his swaddling clothes when he was abandoned at a monastery. The boy grows up to become a fierce Templar who fights for God, but the gruesome carnage of battle weighs heavily upon his conscience. His faith is further tested by Gweneth, the woman who haunts his thoughts and stirs forbidden desires.
Set in 12th-century England, Forbidden is a compelling tale of sibling rivalry, greed, deception, and a knight's honor.

Ten-year-old Bess is only good at one thing—singing, which has no place in her family's bleak existence. When her father sells her to the king of England, she balances the loss of all she's known against a world of music and plenty, and builds a new life as a royal minstrel, earning the nickname "the king's songbird." Bess comes of age in the dangerous Tudor court, where the stakes are always high, and where politics, heartbreak, and disease threaten everyone from the king to the lowliest musician.

In the turbulent times of the Dark Ages, the despotic Uther Pendragon, High King of Celtic Britain, is nearing death, and his kingdom is being torn apart by the squabbling of minor kings. But only one man can bring the Celts together as a nation and restore peace - King Arthur. Artorex (Arthur) doesn't yet seem like the great man he will grow into. We meet him as a shy, subservient twelve-year-old living in the foster home of Lord Ector, who took in Artorex as a babe to protect him from murderous kin.

Entrancing
I enjoy stories set in the medieval time period so I tend to be a bit picky that they stay true to the timeframe. This story does. The characters are created so well I was drawn in from the start. I wanted to know where Nick was going to go, why Jeremy suddenly changed his ways, how Gwen was going to grow into a women from where she was located. The writing was so good, I had to make myself stop listening to take care of my family, but then I was right back to the story. I haven’t done that in a very long time. I highly recommend this book. Have some fun escaping into medieval England!!

Set in medieval time the story is a touching tale of love and rivalry.
The narrator is excellent and kept us captivated. He did a wonderful job capturing the many personalities of the characters.
We would highly recommend this historical drama.

harsh
This was a hard book to listen to because females are chattel and used as such regardless of station. So much abuse and greed that it was hard to find joy and that's the purpose I read. This was a lot to digest gir me. and too much. If there are more books in this series I wouldn't try them. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a good job.
