A Medieval Pageant of Honor, Danger and Desire from the Queen of High Romance! '??Exciting and absorbing.'?'??Book-of-the-Month Club News '??'?¦outstanding historical novels.'?'??Booklist Genre-defining medieval romances told in beautifully-realized settings by the legendary master storyteller of the high romance form, Roberta Gellis. Gellis is famed for her ability to create moving and dramatic stories with characters who are spot-on historical and a part and parcel of the stunning milieus they inhabit. She'??s an acknowledged master of high romance, and the Queen of Medieval Historicals! These are the 11th century novels where it all began, the place where Roberta Gellis first brought the pageant of the past alive with her unique power to capture the details perfectly while telling a fascinating, harrowing, and ultimately fulfilling tale. Many have tried; few have succeeded so well as this Mistress of Historical Drama. The sumptuously recreated settings. The conflagration of danger and burning desire. Here are the four novels of Gellis'??s first 11th century blossoming brought together for the first time in a stunning bouquet of story-telling majesty, fully edited and with a new introduction by the author. Included here are Bond of Blood, Knight'??s Honor, The Sword and the Swan and The Dragon and the Rose. For a limited time, the package will be available for a swoon-inducing $18. Then, beginning in April, the bundle will separate and each book will be available for a still amazing $5. Journey back in time and into the lives of the men and women who lived, loved and forged a history that will never be forgotten! The Sword and the Swan The prequel to Gellis'??s famed Roselynde chronicles and set during the tumult of King Stephen'??s last days in England. Ranulf is an honorable nobleman who loves his king, yet he knows that king is no longer fit to rule. Ranulf cultivates a faƧade of brutality in order to survive the harsh and power-mad world in which he must move, but when he finds himself with Catharine, a widow who has lost everything, he learns that she is a woman who is determined to build a new life and never lose her family again to the fires of conflict. She is, in fact, a woman after his own heart, if only he can see it.
