Queen of this Realm by Jean Plaidy. I have almost finished it again.
Into battle we ride with Gods by our side
We are strong and not afraid to die
We have an urge to kill and our lust for blood has to be fulfilled
WE´LL FIGHT TILL THE END! And send our enemies straight to Hell!

I'm reading The Winter Mantle by Elizabeth Chadwick. It and The Conquest, also by EC have me interested in this time period!

I don't have either of those. I am starting For the King's Favour pretty soon.

Finally unearthed Anna by Cynthia Harrod-Eagles from Mt. TBR. I need something romantic and true love and all that right now to soothe my aching heart. Got a horrible smack from the past yesterday and it has just blown me down into the pit of self-agonizing muck. So upset I had to write about it, and you know that's bad. I'm just hoping that tomorrow will be easier on me.

Hope things are better soon Telynor, 'Anna' is a good choice for when you need some romantic escapism with a good storyline

[quote=""Michy""] I read that one a few months ago, and that was as far as I got with the series. I haven't read any further. They lost steam for me, I guess.

I'm enjoying 'The Light Heart' but nowhere near as much as the first two books in the series. I loved, loved, loved 'Dawn's Early Light and 'Yankee Stranger'
