    About this ebook

    A WOMAN ABANDONED, A MAN BANISHED, AND FAMINE WALKS THE LAND 

    Johanna of Stanrudde, wife of Katel the Spice Merchant, hates the man her father forced her to marry almost as much as she hates the man who years ago stole her heart and her virginity then betrayed her.  

    Forced to abandon Johanna by her father, Robert of Blacklea has never stopped loving her.  Now, as famine walks the land, he discovers a plot to destroy her.  He returns to Stanrudde, risking all to protect her from certain death. When Johanna learns Katel is at the root of this plot she must choose to let her husband kill her lover or believe Rob when he vows she has always been his rightful wife.

      This is the first historical romance novel I have come across that primarily illustrates the medieval merchant class citizen. The unusual subject matter is a pleasant surprise. The book itself though, is more like a slap in the face, or a jolt to your senses. A light-hearted, whimsical read will be the last thing you will find among these pages. Denise Domning drags you through an emotional ringer in this unsettling and often harsh story. The story is told in flashbacks:PAST: Johanna is the wide-eyed young daughter of the merchant of Stanrudde. She befriends Robert of Blacklea, a gangly youth, abandoned by his family and now living the life of a servant/apprentice for Johanna’s father. The two form an instant bond and forge together a beautiful young love. Katel is a mean-spirited bully; constantly tormenting Robert in fits of jealously. Unfortunately, Johanna is betrothed to Katel. In time, Robert believes he has no choice but to reluctantly step aside. When Robert does leave, Katel is delighted to see him go because it will leave the devastated Johanna under his power. Katel does finally get his betrothed but he never gets her love and for that perceived insult, his hatred begins to grow...PRESENT: Johanna of Stanrudde would have preferred to stay in the convent where she sought refuge from her vindictive husband, Katel el Espicer. Katel summons Johanna home; unbeknownst to her, to start the wheels turning on his insanely, intricate plot for revenge. Robert, now of Lynn, is a successful merchant in his own right. Katel lures Robert back to the home of his youth and back to Johanna for the unrelenting struggle of his life.Domning’s descriptions are painfully realistic. The mob scenes alone were extremely disturbing. Also disturbing, were Johanna and Roberts’s seemingly hopeless situation. This is not a happy book. Circumstances in the past forced the two apart and circumstances in the present brought them back together. However, being together, doesn’t solve their problems; it only makes matters worse. Johanna has her son to consider. Plus, she is furious that Robert had abandoned her in the first place to suffer as Katel’s wife. Robert for his part, doesn’t want to destroy her husband, which in turn would destroy Johanna. Even so, theirs is a strong, enduring love, despite their years of separation. Now neither Robert nor Johanna is willing to forgo the second chance they’ve been given to be together. Even if that second chance costs them everything.The story is filled with the regrets of youth and the fervent wishes for a new and fulfilling future. The flashbacks were different, but didn’t bother me too much. It was the raw, agonizing, intensity of the story that had me racing to get to the end so I could put the book away and relax. Whew!
