Wolfram Gerhart has been dispatched by royal command to bring Kathryn Somers to Henry V court. Kit refuses to go off with Sir Gerhart (she needs to stay where her returning betrothed can find her), but events conspire against her and she is forced to leave with the brooding knight. Expecting to head straight for London, Kit is surprised by Wolfram's insistence that they stop at Castle Windermere, a somber place shrouded in mystery and intrigue.

All in all, an ok read. The plot was predictable, and at times the situations and dialogue were painfully naive and trite, but the story always moved at a brisk pace and the characters were well developed and likable.

First time writer Margo Maguire catches the image of the time of King Henry the V. I could not put it down, a must read.

Margo, this is book is marvelous! I can't wait for a sequel! It had romance, history, and action...just like a perfect novel should! It was utterly spell-binding..and I loved the characters. Keep up the good work and say "hi" to the wild ones for me! ;)

I thought The Bride of Windermere was great for a first-time writer. The characters were so vivid and lively. The setting was realitstic and accurate. I can't wait to read the sequel.
