But for all that fearsomeness, it is immediately apparent that he is neither unreasonable nor cruel. He was furious at the carnage he found, and his confrontation with Ragnor was blunt and to the point. Wulfgar is a knight with a fearsome reputation as a warrior. There she was discovered by Wulfgar when he arrived at Darkenwald. Rather than flee the next morning while Ragnor slept, she tarried to bury her father.
Aislinn is also incredibly loyal and loving. I loved her spirit and determination, though it seemed a bit reckless to bait Ragnor the way she did, as the later events proved. But there was no way that she would give in to her father's murderer.
She watched her father struck down, her mother beaten, and life as she knew it crumble around her. He then took the lord's daughter, Aislinn, captive, with conquest on his mind.Īislinn is an eighteen-year-old beauty with red hair and a temper to match. Instead, he used every means available to goad the lord of Darkenwald into fighting and then killed him and many others. Ragnor had precise instructions on the terms to offer but ignored them for his own goals. Wulfgar split his force and went to Cregan himself and sent one of his knights, Ragnor, to secure Darkenwald. Wulfgar is one of his knights, charged with securing the lands of Darkenwald and Cregan. Some of his knights agree with him, but others do not.
He prefers to offer the Saxons the option of surrendering and living to have to kill them and lose their potential as subjects. The story opens in 1066 as William the Conqueror fights his way to the throne of England. But in some ways, it is a more accurate portrayal of the time than some more modern works. Yes, it is dated (published in 1974), and many of its components would not be used today. This is one of the first adult romances I ever read, and it is still one of my favorites.
