Synopsis
A reluctant soldier for William the Conqueror, Drogo de Toulon seizes the lands of Eada of Pevensey. And though she despises the man who has taken her property, Eada's gift of second sight shows her that Drogo is her destiny.
Publishers Weekly
A great story has a beginning, a middle and an end. This latest by the author of My Valiant Knight is all middle. On the eve of William's invasion of England, Eada of Pevensey is separated from her family and captured by Drogo de Toulon, handsome, wise, sensitive. At the same moment, she inherits the gift of seeing (or more often, hearing) the future. She knows Drogo is her destiny, so there's no conflict there. Instead, Howell has constructed an episodic plot in which Eada, after "hearing" the cries of her people, slips out of camp, meets up with one particularly nasty lordling and must be rescued by the ever-attentive Drogo. Aside from the plotting problems, Drogo is also just a bit too nice. His lines run to "I was wondering what if anything, I should say, for I could not judge how you felt"the kind of thing one might pay a 20th-century shrink for, but could hardly expect from an 11th-century Norman. (Oct.)

January 08, 2007: Despite the comments from Publisher's Weekly, I really liked this book. I do think there could have been a bit more conflict but I was still very pleased with the book overall. If you like Hannah Howell's style you will appreciate this work as much as her others.
