Welcome to week four of Medieval Mondays. Today I am
hosting Judith Sterling. So far, the gossip at the banquet is about the Seacrest
treasure buried beneath the castle and fairy lights that have been seen, by
reputable seamen, at night on the cliffs. I Isobel correct? Is it all hogwash?
Judge for yourself.
Night of the Owl
PhD student Ardyth Nightshade has renounced men and
pursues her twentieth-century career with single-minded focus. When fate whisks
her to medieval England, she meets her match in a man whose passions mirror her
own. Can she sacrifice ambition for a love she never sought?
Hugh, Lord Seacrest confounds all who know him. He
refuses to marry without a meeting of minds and hearts, and no lady has even
approached his ideal…until Ardyth. But she's an odd one, with unique skills,
shocking habits, and total conviction she needs no man. She also harbors
secrets, and in the midst of rumors, plots, and murder, trust is fragile.
A woman outside of her time. A man ahead of his. They
must take a leap of faith to forge a bond that will shape history.

He
shrugged as a cupbearer refilled his wine.
“I suppose Giles is trying to compete with Ranulf’s more imaginative
songs.”
To his
immediate right, Lady Seacrest sat forward.
“I expect you’re right, but Giles shouldn’t feel threatened. He’ll always have a place here. And goliards are expected to perform more
provocative fare.”
