This story showed promise but quickly disappointed. Alex MacNeil was great as usual in his leadership capacity, but his role here was minor, as he was unconscious and delirious throughout most of the book, and Lindsay, as unlikeable as she turned out to be after the first book, suffered much.

Trefor, their son, who was actually the main character here, began to shed some of his bitterness toward his parents and decided to help save their lives. He was angry at his parents for abandoning him as a baby, which they hadn't actually done-but what else was he to believe? Alex and Lindsay did a disgraceful job of explaining to Trefor what had actually happened to him, and in fact, treated him abominably.

In KNIGHT'S BLOOD, Trefor traveled back to the 14th century mainly because he sought to know the love and acceptance of his parents, but when he arrived, Alex pretty much rejected him and Lindsay wouldn't even speak to him, leaving Trefor confused and hurt, and yes, angry. But when Trefor finally cornered his mom into a conversation, do you know what these parents did? Lindsay cruelly shunned him and Alex beat him up for daring to talk to her! How appalling.

So here in this story, when Trefor had occasion to talk alone with Lindsay while she was being held prisoner, I thought she'd finally show him kindness and at least make a pretense of accepting him as her son, but she reverted to her cold behavior, barely giving him the time of day.

Although Trefor wasn't always pleasant to be around, I was glad to see him finally find a place where he belonged-which was nowhere near his parents.

I enjoyed this series of books and would like to read more about the characters. It's entertaining, to me, to be drawn across the centuries, and wonder if I would react in a drastically different environment the way the characters did in Knight's Lady and the previous books in the series.
