Fair, Bright, and Terrible

Wales is conquered, and Eluned has lost everything: her country, her husband, her hope. All that remains is vengeance, and she will stop at nothing to have it. Certain there is no trace within her of the idealistic girl who loved Robert de Lascaux a lifetime ago, she agrees to marry him to advance the fortunes of her son, to avoid the nunnery, and most importantly - as an easy way to gain access to the man upon whom she will avenge Wales.

When Robert is asked to marry the woman he has loved for eighteen years, he never hesitates. But the lady who greets him at the altar has so little in common with the girl he adored that he begins to doubt that there is anything left of her bold and passionate younger self. Marriage to her might gain him the fortune and status his family has always wanted, but no wealth has ever mattered to him as much as Eluned has. And she, it seems, does not want him at all.

Trapped in a web of intrigue, revenge, and desire, they cannot forget their past but can they share a future? The fascinating world of medieval Wales is continued in this riveting companion novel to The King's Man.

Editorial Reviews

"Part history lesson, part romance and wholly engrossing, this book is fair, bright and wonderful. I loved it, hated it and in the end, I can't recommend it highly enough. Readers new to Ms. Kingston - clear your book queues and get ready to immerse yourself in her medieval world. You won't regret it." ~~ All About Romance (Desert Isle Keeper Review)

"Elizabeth Kingston writes historical romances that make me fall in love with the genre all over again. Fair, Bright, and Terrible is a ravishing, vividly rendered journey through medieval Britain--and a truly epic romance. Kingston's luminous prose draws us back in time and holds us in breathless suspense as we ache, cheer, and sigh for two extraordinary characters destined for each other." ~ Meredith Duran, bestselling author of LUCK BE A LADY

"The title of this book tells you everything. We're accustomed to loving heroines and dark heroes, and while there's nothing wrong with that, the power of Elizabeth Kingston's tortured and ferocious heroine Eluned creates one of the most unforgettable stories of love you'll ever experience." ~ Laura Kinsale, author of FLOWERS FROM THE STORM
