Publisher Description
This is the first book in the Knights Are Forever series and takes place in 1066, when the Normans brutally defeat the Saxons and William the Conqueror is crowned the King of England.
Even though their country now belongs to William, the Saxons continue to rebel against his rule. But they are no match for the seasoned Norman knights who ruthlessly put down the rebellions.
Against his wishes, Calder Wyndym, one of the king's most valued knights, becomes Overlord of a small village in the North. He is tasked to build a castle to protect the King's lands and to find a way for everyone under his protection to learn to live together peacefully.
Calder endeavors to follow his King's decree but, in the process of doing so, he gives his heart to a lovely, young Saxon woman. Their relationship causes an even deeper rift between the Normans and Saxons.
Will the strength of their love be able to overcome the hatred and prejudice? Or will the deceit, disrespect and betrayals from both sides tear the lovers apart?

Good
A very good read.
Guity
Trying not to spoil the book but had a hard time finishing it. The hero of the book was just too arrogant!! He created a problem and chose to force someone else to deal with it. Edgar shouldn’t have been forced into something that he didn’t want by the betrayal of others. He could’ve dealt with things better instead of becoming so evil but hurt and betrayal sometimes does that not excusing him. But the so called hero showed he might not have been different if things were reversed. I can’t like him or feel sorry because he could’ve done things differently or been a better. Still the book was a good read.
I’m obsessed
Any book that has two people so in love that they will to anything to stay together is my kind of book.
