This was a different flavor for Ms. Le Veque. I loved seeing the wide spectrum of the emotions and conflict that are throughout this story. It has elements that are disturbing as well as dark with extremely perverse personalities that are literally dripping with evil. And there are others who are over-comers of obstacles that are overwhelming from some very sick and twisted characters. There is a thread of incest that is very dark but does not include our main Hero and Heroine. The Knight in this wonderful medieval adventure is Irish...and a little less polished than some in her past works... I really liked that personally and his ladylove is quite the hellion. There are some new guys in story and mention of some of our old friends from previous books as well. To be a story dealing with some very heavy subjects there are some humorous parts. The supporting characters are well developed and have some strong story lines of their own. Kathryn has given us a wonderful epilogue as usual to finish the story, with her usual flair... of course. I recommend the book; it gives us an opportunity to see what a strong and talented author Ms. Le Veque is. If the subject matter is worrisome for you... I'll tell you this much it is handled with tact and sensibility. I recommend this work and hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I will definitely be re-reading it again soon... it's that good.
