Publisher Description
WARNING TO MY BELOVED RIVER TRIBE: HARD THINGS HAPPEN IN THIS BOOK. Get your Kleenex ready...If you're not ready for some special characters to perish from plague and in battle, you won't want to read it. Seriously. You can walk away now and you can make up your own ending in your mind. BUT, that said, there's also a ton of romance and suspense and fun too! To embrace life, and live it to the fullest, we must appreciate the day--and occasionally face down death--and our beloved Forellis and Betarrinis learn that all over again. Ready? Ready. We can DO this... --Lisa
IT'S ONE THING TO BATTLE FOR LIFE...BUT WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN DEATH ITSELF COMES HUNTING?
The Bettarinis and Forellis have found rich fulfillment together in medieval Italia. But after fighting off countless enemies, they now must face the worst foe of all. As the Black Death closes in upon them, threatening everything and everyone they hold dear, Lia and Gabi–and the knights they love–must dig deep within to decide how they might remain safe…and if they need to risk it all in order to truly live as they’re called.

Customer Reviews
Great series
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this entire series and how the storytelling was unraveled. The characters were well developed and I loved reading about them all. I read these books to preview them for my young teenager, as so many books in the Young Adult genre contain so many inappropriate themes, and found them highly enjoyable myself. 5+!!!!
Favorite Series
Love reading this series at the same time as my teenager. So good!!
Unresolved story
Totally enjoyed the series. Would have given 5 stars if not for a glaring omission. The series started with discovery of the hand prints in the Eustrucian tomb. Now at the last book, I had expected some resolution / explanation on the origins of the handprints. Afterall the entire adventure was premised on it and it was the elephant in the room. Sadly there were no attempts to address it, where it came from, who sculpted it, why it might have favoured the Bertarrini family. Everything else in the story was artfully done, the plot, rich visualisation of each place we were taken to, the immersive emotional journey.
