HIGHLIGHTS: THE DU LAC CHRONICLES
The Du Lac Chronicles
(Book 1 of The Du Lac Chronicles)
By Mary Anne Yarde
(Blurb)
A generation after Arthur Pendragon ruled, Briton lies fragmented into warring kingdoms and principalities.
Eighteen-year-old Alden du Lac ruled the tiny kingdom of Cerniw. Now he half-hangs from a wooden pole, his back lashed into a mass of bloody welts exposed to the cold of a cruel winter night. He’s to be executed come daybreak—should he survive that long.
When Alden notices the shadowy figure approaching, he assumes death has come to end his pain. Instead, the daughter of his enemy, Cerdic of Wessex, frees and hides him, her motives unclear.
Annis has loved Alden since his ill-fated marriage to her Saxon cousin—a marriage that ended in blood and guilt—and she would give anything to protect him. Annis’s rescue of Alden traps them between a brutal Saxon king and Alden’s remaining allies. Meanwhile, unknown forces are carefully manipulating the ruins of Arthur’s legacy.

Posted at 23:48h, 04 AugustThank you, Robbie, for visiting and commenting. Unfortunately, there is a universal truth that people can be cruel. I’ve read the 2nd book in the series, Du Lac Devil, which has a fascinating character who is a mercenary with the reputation as a devil. Yet, he is loyal to those he loves. I really enjoyed the dark tale because it is a multi-layered story with engaging, flawed characters.

Posted at 22:33h, 10 AugustHi Christy–Thank you for visiting and commenting on Mary Anne Yarde’s “The Du Lac Chronicles.” The period during the Arthurian Legends has always fascinated me as it was a transition from the Roman Empire to smaller kingdoms fighting each other. Hope you have a fantastic week!
