Oh what a magnificent read! I'm becoming very fond of historical romances.This is a great story of love (of course), loss, murder, revenge and finally the HEA.Branan's father was murdered by the man who then forced his mother to marry him and eventually killed her. He was taken in by a family and fell in love even as a child, with their daughter, Catroina.Many years later, Branon returns to claim his rightful heritage and place, thereby ridding the land of the evi and much hated step-father who terrorised the people and stole their money through increased taxes.The love story is masterfully interwoven with the social and economic politics of the time, and the issues that plague Branon's human heart, like avenging his parents' deaths and reclaiming what is rightfully his.Other serious issues within the story deal with post traumatic stress and battling the demons within, all the while always keeping the hope of love alive.A fabulous read!
