Book Birthday Blitz 3 Bloody Pieces
A dead king, a queen who
is more than she seems, and a witch who uses the dark arts to entrap her.
Queen, widow, beggar –
Lady Caitlyn is all three, and now she can add murderer to the list.
When death and treachery
propel her south to Normandy, to seek sanctuary with the exiled Prince Alfred,
visions of a woman with ancient eyes travel with her.
Herleva is a woman filled
with ambition and greed. A woman who intends to be more than a commoner. A
woman who gets what she wants by whatever means possible, even if she has to
practice the dark arts to achieve her goals.
A woman who is a witch.
Caitlyn finds herself caught up in a magic which changes her
very being. A magic which produces a king to change the lives of every man,
woman, and child in England.
This is a well written historical tale, with the addition of magic and shifting.
The story opens with a tragedy, a battle that should have been won results not only in the loss of a King but an entire kingdom. Running for her life, Queen Caitlyn puts her faith in her husband's long trusted Lieutenant.
Not only is this trust unfounded, it results in Caitlyn becoming something she never could have imagined - a witch's familiar.
Caitlyn makes a wonderful protagonist. I liked her, empathized with her predicaments, and felt pain at her troubles. Set against a backdrop of a troubled England and bloodthirsty land barons, a time of caste and religious strife, this is a book that draws the reader in and encourages continued page turning.
