Jetta needs to escape…

As a kitchen maid who has finally managed to escape abuse at her master’s hand, she finds herself at the scene of a crime. Now she's involved in a murder. How many times can her life be turned upside down? Never knowing her parentage, she has struggled alone for too long.

Dominic is a friend of the king…

Enjoying a peaceful life was never his choice. He wanted a change from the monotony. But finding his Farrier murdered, with only a slip of a girl as the likely culprit, was possibly taking things too far.

But murder isn’t always what it seems…

Sometimes it can be a revelation, introducing strangers who would never have met and revealing secrets kept hidden. Yet murder is still murder. And being arrested for one you had nothing to do with brings more than a few catastrophes, as well as new friends and strange paths to discover.

With the Battle of Bosworth looming…

Murder also becomes a terror spread across the fields, the blood and bodies of the slain. And with it, a new king and many changes that affect the country.

Jetta narrowly escapes one trauma after another. As murder and mayhem ensue, unlikely alliances come to her rescue. But where does that leave an impoverished kitchen maid?

This is one of my favorite periods. I am already a huge fan of Shona Maclean “The Seeker” series and these books were recommended to me by Amazon because of that. Now I am proud to say that I am absolutely enthralled and happy to add these series as a new favorite. I own all the physical books as well. Thank you Barbara for this incredible gift.

The narrator is absolutely brilliant. His voice transporting.

I am in awe. Discovering a new series so rich in believable historical detail, yet built on the lives of an intriguing cast of characters, has me hunkering down in bliss to enjoy the ride.
Mr Jackson’s narration takes some getting used to, but is soon irreplaceable. (I admit to an increased pace because I can’t wait to know what happens next.)

Also, there is fulfilling romance without unseemly bodice ripping or explicit sexual detail. Furthermore, the woman protagonist is portrayed to possess more than half a brain!

I think I should mention that both of these first two novels begins with the female protagonists escaping dire circumstances. I felt immediately dropped into the thick of the plot; hit the ground running so to speak.
Let the wild ruckus begin!

I am absolutely LOVING this series!

Get tired of the woman being abducted every 5 minutes. Irritating. Not every good book has to be a rescue.

To much conflict
