Romance Paranormal
Ela Montahue is a talented sorceress with the ability to heal, but distressed over a complicated ancestral legacy. Long ago, a mystical woman known as Boadicea, the famed queen of the Iceni tribe, issued a difficult decree. As her descendant, Ela must wed for love, not practicality, or she will forfeit her supernatural power. In medieval England this is not a socially acceptable order to follow. For her familyβs sake, she should marry Lord Thomas de Havel, a vile landholder with a cruel streak and a desire to see slavery reinstatedβa man with good connections to King Johnβs court. This arrangement would put the Montehues in a safe position in the new regime. The stakes are highβ her dignity, her pride, and possibly her life in childbirth. When Ela refuses this repulsive marital transaction, Thomas de Havel abducts her and wages battle against her father in retaliation. Only Osbert Edyvean, a knight with the highest creedβhonor, faith, and logicβcan save her and preserve her gift. A businessman for the Earl of Norfolk, Osbert has been paid to find Boadiceaβs spear. Rather than bring back this obscure artifact, he rescues Ela, intending to take her to the earl and obtain his parcel of land. Wary of the supernatural aura surrounding this woman, the admirable knight fights his overwhelming passion for a beautiful lady he wants to protect . . . and love. This is Boadiceaβs true legacy.
