"An evocative,
timeless saga of love and betrayal, it has rivalry and treachery enough for any
‘Game of Thrones’ aficionado..."
Tony Riches, author of The Tudor Trilogy.
The Du Lac Chronicles
By
Mary Anne Yarde
A generation after Arthur Pendragon
ruled, Briton lies fragmented into warring kingdoms and principalities.
Eighteen-year-old Alden du Lac ruled
the tiny kingdom of Cerniw. Now he half-hangs from a wooden pole, his back
lashed into a mass of bloody welts exposed to the cold of a cruel winter night.
He’s to be executed come daybreak—should he survive that long.
When Alden notices the shadowy
figure approaching, he assumes death has come to end his pain. Instead, the
daughter of his enemy, Cerdic of Wessex, frees and hides him, her motives
unclear.
Annis has loved Alden since his
ill-fated marriage to her Saxon cousin—a marriage that ended in blood and
guilt—and she would give anything to protect him. Annis’s rescue of Alden traps
them between a brutal Saxon king and Alden’s remaining allies. Meanwhile,
unknown forces are carefully manipulating the ruins of Arthur’s legacy.

Book
Extract from The Du Lac Chronicles
“I was
informed my bride to be had absconded with an escaped prisoner. I did not
realise the prisoner was you.”
“Well, now
you do.”
“Alden, you
could be a little more pleasant, considering you are in my country and you are
hoping to convince me to loan you a boat. I have a good mind to send you back
to Wessex.”
“Oeric had
the same idea.”
“Did he?
Well, I can’t say I am surprised. What happened to your arm?”
Annis
thought Alden would refuse to answer but then he sighed heavily, as if he was
fed up with the hostility. “A wound, courtesy of Oeric's archers.”
“They let
loose at you?”
“Yes, who
would have thought? And them being such good allies of mine and everything.”
“One day
your sarcasm is going to get you killed.”
“My
sarcasm? I have thought of many reasons why Wessex wanted me dead, but I never
considered sarcasm. Thanks for clearing that up.”

"I can honestly
say that this is one of the best books I have ever read as it combined many of
the elements I love. It had forbidden romance, daring heroes, a road trip,
court intrigue, war, sword fights and a medieval time setting with horses,
knights and honour.........what more could you want?"
