Book Blurb
The year is 1180 A.D. and times are very dark.
England is lawless for the most part and the people live in fear. Rising to power during this time is the vicious and brutal knight Ajax de Velt. His mission is to conquer a large stretch of the Scots and Welsh border, commandeering wealth and property along the way. He wants to be the most feared and powerful warlord in all of England, Wales and Scotland, and he is well on his way.
The last in a long line of dark and brutal warriors, Ajax is the most ruthless and ambitious knight in the Isles; even the heartiest warriors fear the man for his coldblooded tactics. More than that, his bloodlust as well as his sheer skill with a blade are legendary. But as Ajax and his army conquer the latest castle in his plans to secure the borders, he unexpectedly meets his match in a spitfire of a woman named Kellington Coleby.
Beautiful, intelligent and feisty, Lady Kellington refuses to surrender to the man as handsome as he is brutal. The warlord and the maiden go head to head in this unforgettable story of love, battle, devotion, fear and adventure.

Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala
Jax is the
feared Dark Lord who shows no mercy. He
invades a castle and kills the survivors.
He has always done things the same way until one time. When he meets Lady Kellington who flat out
asks why she should have to beg for her life when she is innocent.
Call it
foolishness or bravery but I liked her from the beginning as she stood up to
the big, bad knight. I also liked how it
took him by surprise. It was funny when
he wasn’t sure how or why he was giving in to her requests. His intimidation didn’t work as he expected
and it was fun to see him flounder. Her
strength of character and compassion pretty much led the storyline. I like how she patiently began to understand
Jax and explain a better way. She is
only eighteen but she was really smart.
I really liked her character overall in the whole story. She refused to give up or give in to others’
demands. She stayed true to what she
believed. It was a great story to read
as she claimed and softened the most feared Knight in England, Wales, and
Scotland.
The author
spins a great story revealing the darkness during that time, how brutal war
could be. She painted a gruesome picture
during the castle sieges and battles. It
was easy to picture things as I read. It
was a great story. I give it a 4 out of
5.
