Young widow seeks true love in this gritty Medieval romance with a touch of fantasy
In fourteenth century Britain, Dame Audrey cherishes her independence as the widow of a wealthy cloth merchant. But several of the wealthier traders covet her profitable business and she fears they will invoke the Abbot’s authority to compel her to marry a man of their choice. Her worst nightmare is suffering under a cruel husband like the hateful jeweler, Henry Goldsmith, who has threatened to curb her lively spirits.
Audrey joins a pilgrimage to Glastonbury to
pray for guidance. The holy relics give her no inspiration nor do her fellow
travelers. On the homeward journey, she aids the dying victim of a brutal
robbery. She wins the stranger’s blessing and a gold brooch with a green
dragon. Back in her hometown, the faerie brooch attracts trouble from thieves
of all ranks and the attentions of a handsome yeoman, Selwyn Drake. As her nightmare looms nearer, she grows desperate to
preserve her freedom.
Can the magic brooch help Audrey evade the
schemes to force her into wedlock or must she submit to a husband’s will?
