Product Description
In 1193 Prince John, ruler of England, orders Lady Alyce Rose of Sherbourne Castle, to marry Baron Dunstan. Heeding the advice of her late father not to trust any male, Alyce wants to delay her nuptials indefinitely or at least as long as possible. When a contingent of knights arrive at her castle, she assumes Dunstan is one of them. She feeds them tainted meat so they will want to depart faster. However, the leader turns out to be Dunstan's enemy the Lord of Lyonsbridge, Thomas Brand, who seeks funds to ransom King Richard. Thomas immediately takes a liking to the servant wench Alyce, who returns his instant attraction. However, even when their identities finally are sorted out, the duo remains pawns in the regal rivalry and with Dunstan. THE LADY OF LYONSBRIDGE is an entertaining medieval romance that focuses on the impact the royal squabble between Richard and John has on even the aristocracy. The story line is fast-paced and filled with action, but what raises this plot above the zillion of similar tales are the antics of Alyce and Thomas trying to trump one another even as they struggle to earn the trust of their beloved.
