THE DU LAC CHRONICLES

BOOK ONE

“It is dangerous to become attached to a du Lac. He will break your heart, and you will not recover.” So prophesies a wizened healer to Annis, daughter of King Cerdic of Wessex. If there is truth in the old crone’s words, they come far too late for Annis, who defies father, king, and country to save the man she loves.

Alden du Lac, once king of Cerniw, has nothing. Betrayed by Cerdic, Alden’s kingdom lies in rubble, his fort razed to the ground and his brother Merton missing, presumably dead. He has only one possession left worth saving: his heart. And to the horror of his few remaining allies, he gives that to the daughter of his enemy. They see Annis, at best, as a bargaining chip to avoid war with her powerful father. At worst, they see a Saxon whore with her claws in a broken, wounded king.

Alden has one hope: When you war with one du Lac, you war with them all. His brother Budic, King of Brittany, could offer the deposed young king sanctuary—but whether he will offer the same courtesy to Annis is far less certain.

MY THOUGHTS…

This book is one of the best ones I have ever read for a long time. I love how, although nearly everyone is against it, Alden follows his heart and chooses Annis, despite what anyone else thinks.

Although Alden and Annis are the main concerntration of the book, I must say that Merton is my favourite character, mostly because he can turn any situation into an amusing one, but also because he is full of bright ideas - not that they always work.

I highly recommend this book to anyone and I am eagerly waiting for the arrival of the next books in the series.
