First Line Friday – Boundless (Tamara Leigh)

Posted 22 January 2021 by Katie in Christian Fiction, First Line Fridays, Historical, Romance / 8 Comments

Happy Friday and welcome to First Line Friday, hosted by Hoarding Books. It’s a day to rejoice, because Tamara Leigh’s latest book downloaded to my Kindle overnight! Boundless is book number six in her Age of Conquest series, and I can’t wait to dive in. Unfortunately, I have another book to finish before I can dive in, but that just means I can relish the anticipation for a little longer. Provided I can actually hold out… 😁

About the Book

THE WULFRITHS. IT ALL BEGAN WITH A WOMAN

A battle. A crown. The conqueror. The conquered. Medieval England—forever changed by the Battle of Hastings. And the rise of the formidable Wulfriths.

DECEIT WRAPPED IN SOMETHING SWEET

After aiding the English resistance who once more fail to reclaim their country from the invaders, Lady Marguerite returns home to Scotland in the aftermath of William the Conqueror’s harrying of the North—and does not come alone. Accompanying the Sparrow of King Malcolm’s Court is a warrior mistakenly believed her enemy, the price for which may be his irreparable loss of sight. Burdened by having laid the trap for a man she regrets not recognizing sooner, and strangely drawn to him, she determines she will be the one to tend this Norman. But that is possible only if he does not learn she is responsible for what could strip the warrior from him. When her deception is unveiled, will he reject what he has come to feel for her? When he leaves, will he take her heart with him?

A WARRIOR CAST IN SHADOWS DEEP

Gifted with a sense beyond the natural, which has made life seem more a sport than a battle, Sir Theriot D’Argent counts himself favored by God—until the night he aids villagers attacked by his fellow Normans and a good deed turns tragic. Stricken blind, his world reduced to shadows amid clouded light, he finds himself a prisoner of the King of Scotland and in the care of a lady whose voice and touch disturb as much as the belief her secrets are not hers alone. Will his sight be restored? Or is this divine punishment for aiding in England’s conquest? And what is he to do with feelings for the one whose trap ensnared him? Even were it possible to forgive her for a life cruelly altered, he would be a burden—and a danger for being unable to protect the lady from her murderous kin.

    “Stop or we’ll shoot! “ A dozen feet up Kenosha pass, three robbers with flour sacks over their heads blocked the way, their revolvers outstretched.
    I finished it on January 8.

    Tamara Leigh’s books are so good! Happy Friday! My first line is from “The Art of Rivers” by Janet W. Ferguson:
