Draegon has lived his life in the shadows. Always he feels safer in the darkness. He yearns for love but thinks no one can love him for the beast that resides within. He only drops the hood of his cloak for two reasons. The first when he is with his friend Diminimis and the second on windy, rainy nights in the forest.Lady Alys has been betrothed to a monster. She has tried several times to escape and finally has her chance for freedom. Willing to do anything for her unborn child, she chances out running a rainstorm. When her horse stumbles and she is injured, she never expects to wake in the home of the Shadow Lord.
Draegon is concerned for Alys and when she finally awakes and does not remember who she is, his concern grows. She remembers pieces of what she has been through but struggles to remember the rest. When Draegon catches a glimpse of the scars on her back, he vows to protect her or die trying. Their lives take a turn towards danger when Knighthawk, Alys's betrothed, arrives at Greystone demanding his future wife and unborn child be returned.
Ms. Ciletti has written a wonderful historical romance. The fear that overwhelms Draegon as he discovers love for the first time is poignant. Alys is a character that I felt deeply for as well. The scenes are filled with romance, fear and a breath of new found freedom. I was enticed to keep reading as the characters always found themselves in trouble. This reason alone makes for an entertaining read. For lovers of historical romances, this is a book that should be on your shelf.
