My September pre order is here! I’ve been wanting to start this series for a while now, so let me present Book One in the Guard of Six series – ABSOLUTION!
We met these guys in Chad de Lohr’s book, “Silversword”. They’re the personal guards of Henry III, kind of his Praetorians, because they move only by the king’s command. Whatever he wants them to do, they do. The book titles are the name of the sword of that particular hero, so in this book, the title – Absolution – is the name of his sword!
Here’s the blurb:
Sir Torran de Serreaux is the leader of Henry III’s personal guard. Known as the Guard of Six, they are an elite group made up of knights from the finest and oldest families in England. They have a reputation for being powerful, fearless, and dedicated. When Torran fights, it is with his sword – Absolution – in his hand.
But he is also a man with more demons than most.
It has been three years since the fall of Simon de Montfort and, still, there are lingering de Montfort supporters in England that are being systematically rooted out and subdued. At a particularly nasty battle at Wellingborough Castle, Torran and the royal army manage to raze the castle and kill all but two members of the oppositionist’s family – an excitable young boy and a lovely young woman.
Torran is introduced to Lady Andia “Andi” St. Albans.
The family of St. Albans were great supporters of de Montfort. Torran takes Andia and her brother to London as prisoners. Henry, as punishment to the St. Alban’s family, orders the siblings thrown in the vault. Torran, who is fighting a great attraction to Andia, puts her and her brother into the dark recesses of the Tower of London with the greatest reluctance.
But only for a night.
After that, Torran takes the pair to his family’s townhome in London as his personal prisoners because the truth is that there’s something about Andia that intrigues him. She’s reserved, but very intelligent, but he is coming to suspect that Andia is hiding something. He can’t help but feel she’s harboring secrets, much as he is, and has he tries to figure him out, she is trying to figure him out as well. But all of the suspicion in the world can’t dampen the sparks that fly between them.
Passion that roars like a wildfire.
In the complex political world of England’s politics, Torran and Andia are major players. When the truth of Andia’s involvement in her family’s support of Simon de Montfort is revealed, Torran must make a choice. Can he forgive a woman he’s fallen in love with?
Or is he the one who must seek absolution?
