From Booklist
Welsh legend says that if the king should set foot upon the stone known as
Llech-lafar after coming back from war, he will die. Eleanor of Aquitaine sends Elspeth Braybrooke, a novice of St. Jude's Abbey, to Wales to find the stone and prevent the prophecy. Her task is hard enough as it is, but is complicated further when Tarran ap Llyr mistakes her for a damsel in distress, preventing her from gaining important information regarding the stone's whereabouts. But the true danger lies within her heart as her mission grows to include saving this prince from his darkest nightmares. Kelley, who also writes as Jo Ann Ferguson, delivers a story of well-paced action, richly detailed in period lore, and caps it off with a hero worth fighting for. With engaging characters and the tease of a bigger mystery, the beauty of the Ladies of St. Jude's Abbey series (
A Knight Like No Other, 2005) blooms sweeter with each new novel.
