A Kingdom to Claim

De: Sian Ann Bessey

Narrado por: Anne Flosnik

Aisley lost everything in a Viking attack. Now, working alongside the one man she trusts, she is ready to fight for her people—and for love.

Aisley’s young life was changed forever when her father accompanied King Alfred into battle and lost his life in a deadly skirmish with the Vikings. Now, almost seven years later, the Vikings are once again rallying on Wessex’s borders, and Aisley fears that her older brother may have treacherous plans to betray the king by aligning himself with the invading Norsemen. But when Aisley encounters a handsome nobleman in the market, she feels the first stirrings of hope. Though they met only once when Aisley was little more than a child, she recognizes the man immediately as one of King Alfred’s most trusted men.

It has been years since Brecc has seen Aisley, but when he spots her in the marketplace, he finds himself inexplicably drawn to the copper-haired young lady with a gift for healing. Before his fledgling feelings for her can develop into something more, however, a Viking attack tears them apart. King Alfred is forced into hiding, and in a matter of days, the Saxon nation is brought to its knees. Unwilling to forsake their people, the king and his men embark on secret raids of Viking encampments. But when Aisley joins the fight, Brecc must reconcile his steadfast loyalty to King Alfred with his growing love for the king’s newest warrior.

Wonderfully written story with historical facts woven into a captivating storyline. Narrator did a great job telling the story as well. Captured my interest right from the start.

Solid historical romance

If you like Sian Anne Bessey and her medieval era books you’ll like this one. Clean, actual history based, and engaging. Decent narrator.

Enjoyable English History

I thoroughly enjoyed learning English history and the culture during this time period. I did have a basic knowledge of these events in England’s history, but I learned so much more while enjoying a well written story with some romance added into the story. I highly recommend this book.

Who couldn’t use that?

You can’t go wrong with a book that has a fictional story, but added truth from history to make it even more fulfilling. I adored the characters. The hero & heroine are people you want to be & be with. The King being not just a good man, but a faithful one to God. To see a ruler who is not arrogant or believes himself perfect is refreshingly different. The story was exciting & fun from the moment the hero & heroine meet. You feel their connection. There is of course opposition. To see the characters stay true to God & each other through those trials, is inspiring. It’s a great read. Uplifting. Which is much needed now. The King was patterned after the real King bearing the same name. His accomplishments are far greater than going to war. His faith saved his people in real life. You will enjoy him in this story as well, and when you finish, you will have a warm heart with a smile on your face! . Who couldn’t use that? Don’t waste time not reading this book!
