Publisher's summary

Wales, 1093.

The warm, comfortable family life of young Nesta, daughter of Prince Rhys of Deheubarth, is destroyed when her father is killed and she is taken hostage. Her honour is further tarnished when she is taken as an unwilling concubine by King William’s ruthless younger brother Henry, who later ascends the throne under suspicious circumstances. But it is Nesta’s marriage that will really change the course of her life.

Gerald FitzWalter, an ambitious young knight, is rewarded for his unwavering loyalty to his new King with Nesta’s hand. He is delighted, having always admired her from afar, but Nesta’s only comfort is her return to her beloved Wales. There, she cannot help but be tempted by the handsome, charismatic and dangerous son of the Welsh prince, Owain. When he offers her the chance to join him in his plan to overthrow Norman rule she must choose between duty and desire.

From the award-winning and bestselling author comes the heartbreaking tale of a woman trying to survive in a man’s world—a world where the men who would protect her are dead and banished.

Wales & Henry 1 Norman Rule

Another interesting Medieval Historical by Elizabeth Chadwick. She takes us to Wales.
Her research is always fascinating on she weaves a Welch Royal take over by Norman Rule. A place in time I knew little about. The very young Welch Princess has quite the story of having little choice after her father is killed in the battle for her homeland. She is marriage matched with a Norman beneath her status with no choice however he is a good honest man while their lives are not the easiest together because of the mixed status and backgrounds. He works hard to give her a comfortable life and many children to replace her family loss. They make the best of her dangerous pride and strong will. She makes some immature decisions that affect her marriage and her standing with the Norman Crown. She finally wakes up to the fact that she has a husband who is a good man.
