But their troubles are far from over as they endure continuing harassment and are drawn into intrigue involving the Irish king.

Can the pair continue to battle and survive against all the odds?

5.0 out of 5 stars Even in a time period of religious upheaval, destruction and violence, love can change a life.
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2023
This historical is based upon several facts from the time period, a believable tale spun by a skillful writer. Christine Jordan boldly explores a violent time in history, where it is possible that "certain authority figures" did their best to incite war between Christians and the Jewish people.

It begins with a ritualistic murder (trigger alert) and ends with revenge for a violent act against a woman. (Trigger alert) Throughout it all is Zev's love for Arlette, despite their different social standings.

In short, this book hooked me and didn't let me go until the satisfying conclusion ending on a positive note for one of the victims.

If you enjoy Game of Thrones, you'll appreciate this story.

Trigger alerts mentioned above.

Well done Christine Jordan!

4.0 out of 5 stars great story
Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2023
This is my second book by this author which I enjoyed just as much as the first one if not more. This is a suspenseful story about love, betrayal with a touch of danger and historical. This is a well written story where the author used her writing skills to make the characters come to life. I found them to be connectable, engaging and brought so much to the story. This is a fast paced story that is hard to put down. I enjoyed the twists and turns that pulled me in and had me sitting on the edge of my seat. I really enjoyed this story and how entertaining it is to read. I highly recommend this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Historical drama of 12th century England
Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2023
This is the first book on a historical fiction series, I do recommend for the reader to understand the religious part of the book, especially the Jewish part to previously read and investigate about the customs and celebrations of this religion, you will gain much more from this book if you do so.
There is a lot of research into this book, since it is based on real historical events that happened in England in the 12th century involving the Jewish community and the first time that the Blood Libel lie came to life. A Catholic boy is being murder to implicate the Jewish community in it thru a blood libel, so the people in power can gain with this lie.
The story is engaging and you learn from it, however with all of the research done by the author there are quite a few errors on the use of the Hebrew language, that for someone who doesn’t speak it will not take anything away from enjoying this book, however if you are someone like me, who does speak Hebrew, it bothered me and became the reason as to why I’m only giving this book 3 stars instead of 4.
I do look forward to read the following books on the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow
Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2023
I wasn’t sure what to think of this book where I first started. I’m somewhat picky about the historical fiction that I read. Some are just incredibly dull, some are so-so, and then some- like this book- are absolutely incredible and completely knock you off your feet. This is my first book by this author but I plan to look for more.

This is a good story and well written. However, there are parts of this book that are extremely gruesome, violent and cruel. My advice is that if you are easily upset, don’t buy it.
