WINNER OF THE RONE AWARD FOR BEST MEDIEVAL ROMANCE!

“...an exciting tale and a passionate love story that brings to life England after the Conquest—medieval romance at its best!" ~ Virginia Henley New York Times Bestselling Author

HE WOULD NOT BE DENIED HIS PRIZE Sir Renaud de Pierrepont, the Norman knight known as the Red Wolf for the beast he slayed with his bare hands, hoped to gain lands with his sword. A year after the Conquest, King William rewards his favored knight with Talisand, the lands of an English thegn slain at Hastings, and orders him to wed Lady Serena, the heiress that goes with them.

SHE WOULD LOVE HIM AGAINST HER WILL Serena wants nothing to do with the fierce warrior to whom she has been unwillingly given, the knight who may have killed her father. When she learns the Red Wolf is coming to claim her, she dyes her flaxen hair brown and flees, disguised as a servant, determined to one day regain her lands. But her escape goes awry and she is brought back to live among her people, though not unnoticed by the new Norman lord. Deprived of his promised bride, the Red Wolf turns his attention to the comely servant girl hoping to woo her to his bed. But the wench resists, claiming she hates all Normans. As the passion between them rises, Serena wonders, can she deny the Norman her body? Or her heart?
“Ms. Walker has the rare ability to make you forget you are reading a book…the characters become real, the modern world fades away and all that is left is the intrigue, drama and romance.” Straight from the Library
“An engrossing love story grounded in meticulous research. Regan Walker makes the transition from Regency London to Anglo Norman England with consummate ease.” Glynn Holloway, author of 1066 What Fates Impose

Virtual Voice poisoned this book

I hated the narration. It didn’t fit the setting of the book, and was bland in the extreme. More importantly, there were errors in inflection that left me confused about what a particular sentence really meant, and absurd pronunciation errors (a “vicious” battle was pronounced “viscous”) were sprinkled throughout. I don’t know how this AI- computer generated narration process works, but I bet the author is pissed that this was what the producers thought was good enough to release to the world. This sounded like a first draft effort at best. Great job, guys-if your goal is to sabotage the whole concept of Virtual Voice! Hopefully someone in production will actually listen to this book and change the whole narration.
