Genre-defining medieval romances told in beautifully-realized settings by the legendary master storyteller of the high romance form, Roberta Gellis. Gellis is famed for her ability to create moving and dramatic stories with characters who are spot-on historical and a part and parcel of the stunning milieus they inhabit. Sheβs an acknowledged master of high romance, and the Queen of Medieval Historicals!
These are the 11th century novels where it all began, the place where Roberta Gellis first brought the pageant of the past alive with her unique power to capture the details perfectly while telling a fascinating, harrowing, and ultimately fulfilling tale. Many have tried; few have succeeded so well as this Mistress of Historical Drama. The sumptuously recreated settings. The conflagration of danger and burning desire.
Here are the four novels of Gellisβs first 11th century blossoming brought together for the first time in a stunning bouquet of story-telling majesty, fully edited and with a new introduction by the author. Included here are Bond of Blood, Knightβs Honor, The Sword and the Swan and The Dragon and the Rose. For a limited time, the package will be available for a swoon-inducing $18. Then, beginning in April, the bundle will separate and each book will be available for a still amazing $5.
Journey back in time and into the lives of the men and women who lived, loved and forged a history that will never be forgotten!
Knight's Honor
Roger, Earl of Hereford, has had enough of wars. He has fought bravely for King Henry II in a brutal civil conflict, only to see his lord attempt a union with bitter enemies. Now Roger must turn to the very real task of securing his long-neglected lands and founding a family line with strong and loyal wife Elizabeth, who understands that she may not be married to the most considerate of men, but that sheβs made a powerful match, all the same. Now Roger and Elizabeth must fight to master a dangerous world where mortal danger and intrigue constantly lurk and civilization has only the most tenuous of footholds.
