Book description
Spring 1193
Just returned from the Crusades, brothers Gavin and Will find home
changed more than they'd expected - in fact home is a very dangerous
place indeed.
Ellie is reluctantly preparing for her wedding to Gavin. He's not
the problem - marriage is. To Ellie, it means a) servitude, b) no
independence and c) certain death in childbirth before she's 18. But
marriage, it turns out, is the least of her worries. King Richard has
been declared dead and his brother John is claiming the throne.
Hartslove castle is attacked on the day of the wedding - and Ellie is
kidnapped by one of Prince John's supporters. Gavin knows he should
try to rescue her - but can't help thinking that a one-armed knight is
no use to anyone, especially a beautiful girl like Ellie. It's left to
William and his horse Hosanna to rescue Ellie and prove that King
Richard is still alive - but success in both is marred by a tragedy
that none of them will ever forget.
The heartbreaking sequel to K. M. Grant's brilliant debut novel,
BLOOD RED HORSE
Katie Grant, a writer for the Scotsman newspaper, is one of
Scotland's best known political journalists. She lives in Glasgow with
her husband and two sons.
