WONDERFULL

I COULD NOT PUT THIS BOOK DOWN. SHANNON DRAKE IS AN EXCELLENT WRITTER AND THIS IS ONE OF HER BEST!!!!!

If I could give this book 20 stars, I would!!!

Shannon Drake does it again with this extraordinary book! I absolutely loved this book. I felt so heartsick for Igrainia ans Eric, both at opposite ends of a terrible war and such heartache to overcome! I almost came close to tears when Igrainia was in the crypts, trying to explain her feelings to Afton. What a heartbreaking chapter! It was almost like I was there, that is how very well the book is portrayed. This is a keeper, and I will probably read it a thousand times! Now.......on to Jamie's story, The Lion in Glory!!

a truly heartbreaking romance

I started not to read this b/c it didn't sound very appealing to me, but I am so glad that I did b/c I would've missed out on one of the sweetest romance stories out there. I am also very selective about romance novels, but adoring medieval novels like I do I read it. I have NEVER cried while reading a romance novel, but I had tears running down my face reading this one. I really can't understand the negative reviews for this book. This book is so well written. Shannon Drake writes like she lived in that time period. It wasn't repetitive in any way, and they didn't keep throwing things up in each other's faces. The only thing I can see that might be negative to some is the slow paced beginning. But after about page 100 it sped up and never slowed down. It was so worth the wait. The book is so good, that I wasn't even bothered that there wasn't a love scene until 2/3 into the book. I loved Eric's character. He is so strong. Igrania is great as well. This is one of the most realistic medieval romances I've ever read. I was so sad when I was finished reading it. I hope Drakes's other romance novels are this good. One more thing.......what Eric and Igrania have both been through and lost makes their love even more true.

Great Book

This was an excellent book however kind of hard to read at the beginning if you read the novel before this one which introduced Eric and Margot. In the prior novel, these two finally get marrried after being together for years. You get to see how Margot loved him unconditionally. In this book, Margot dies in the the beginning and he has to marry someone else for Scotland. I would not have liked this novel if Eric would have been lusting after the heroine from the beginning totally showing no respect to Margot's memory. This did not happen. He mourned Margot deeply but learned to go on and accept his new wife. This was so realistic and made this an excellent novel.
