Five years after Gareth walked away from Gwen in disgrace, she encounters him in the aftermath of an ambush, standing over the body of a murdered king.

Customer Reviews
The Good Knight
Decent read. Research is evident in the writing. It should be self-explanatory, but this straight up says it’s medieval mystery and therefore focused primarily on the historical integration and political/court intrigue/mystery. I was, however, greatly disappointed that Gwen pretty much just ended up being a damsel.
Love this trip through Wales and Ireland
Excellent combination of murder, court intrigue and history of Wales and Ireland. Loved this book!
I have enjoyed the whole series and this is a reread. Sarah's books are based on the past but their wisdom and humor apply to the present as well.
Buy them all or listen to the audiobooks, the reader is excellent and you will learn how the welsh should sound
Murder with a Cause
Very well written book on medieval times with a little history thrown in. Romance between two characters, murder,kidnapping and a father’s reluctance to allow his daughter to wed the one she loves because he thinks he isn’t good enough. The series should be a great read!
