A Kingdom Divided
Raised in a home filled with violence, Arianne Pemberton experiences
love and gentleness only after her arranged marriage to Richard, Duke of
Gavenshire. But before she can feel confident both in Richard's love
and in God's personal care for her, a mysterious enemy from Richard's
Past over-powers the castle and takes Arianne hostage. Who is Tancred,
and why is he set on revenge? What fuels the animosity between the two
men? Exercising her new faith, Arianne risks her life to restore peace
and unite a kingdom divided.
Alas, My Love
England in the Middle Ages is far from a jolly place for an unprotected
young woman. Yet the savagery of her stepbrother and the devious
schemes of her stepsister have given golden-haired Helena Talbot little
choice. She must find shelter elsewhere. Afforded protection by the
magnanimouse Duke of Gavenshire, Helena nonetheless lives under an
assumed name, ever fearful her whereabouts will be revealed to her
stepbrother. Only one dream transports her above her worries, the desire
that one day she will be reunited with brave Tancred. Years have passed
since they were together and now an ocean and a king's decree keep them
apart. But are those obstacles stronger than a woman's prayer for
love?
If Only
The year is 1349, the place, England. As the bubonic shadow spreads
across the land, Mary Beckett finds herself alone and desperate. Her
father, a physician who has been accused of consorting with the devil,
has been murdered. Even her own interest in medicine has brought cries
of witchcraft. Mary's only hope is to journey north to the home of her
godly grandmother, a woman her father once rejected. Doctors and
pilgrims will cross her path, and, last but not least, Peter Donne, a
knight on a mission from the king. Hundreds will beg her to heal them.
Will Mary Beckett, a lonely pilgrim herself, find a way to help her
people and herself? If only she could reach her grandmother's home, if
only she could find her own way to God.
About The Author
I really enjoyed all three of these Novellas, and they became page
turners for me looking for answers. The first two mesh into one another,
and we meet a couple whom are are in danger, but this story is woven
beautifully and goes smoothly into the second read where in the end we
do get answers.
The third takes place during the reign of Edward
III, and people are dying all over Europe of the bubonic plague. The
paganism and fear of healers are killing takes hold, as people are not
relying on their faith in Christ. We journey with Mary a healer, and a
Knight whom is on the Kings business of counting the dead, and never
expecting to find and help another person, including several children.
All these reads are people who are living or coming to faith, and finding the support of Chris!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Barbour, and was not required to give a positive review.
