Showing results for "Lion" in Ancient World

As the firstborn son of the Earl of Hereford and Worcester, England's greatest knight during the reign of Richard I, Curtis grew up knowing what was expected of him, and he thrived through the pressure. But the pressure was kept buried and, with all pressure, at some point, it's got to give. With a reputation for being humorless, brutally honest, powerful, and fearless in battle, Curtis is the shining heir to the House of de Lohr. As the premier knight of Henry III, he performs flawlessly in every battle, every situation.

Westley de Lohr has a secret—he's been betrothed to the young girl who was his "best friend" when he was about five years of age. Her father was a powerful neighbor, and Westley's father, seeing an opportunity, brokered a betrothal for his youngest son. As her father's only child, she would inherit a strong fiefdom, and Christopher wanted that for his son. But things have changed.

Surely, no two people in this history of the world have ever made more miserable traveling companions. And that is the start of an unexpected—but eye-opening—revelation for Myles when it comes to the bookish, brilliant Veronica. Join the star-crossed couple on a journey for the ages, where the understanding of friendship and love is something both of them must learn from one another, where loyalty and honor mean more than lust and instant gratification, and where the growth of true and deep love is something that comes from the very soul.
