A tale of love in an era of war and blood feuds.
Francia, 778: Alda has never forgotten Ganelon's vow of
vengeance when she married his rival, Hruodland. Yet the jilted suitor's malice
is nothing compared to Alda's premonition of disaster for her beloved,
battle-scarred husband.
Although the army invading Hispania is the largest ever and
King Charles has never lost a war, Alda cannot shake her anxiety. Determined to
keep Hruodland from harm, even if it exposes her to danger, Alda gives him a
charmed dragon amulet.
Is its magic enough to keep Alda's worst fears from coming
true--and protect her from Ganelon?
Angela’s Review
Set during the reign of
Charlemagne, The Cross and the Dragon is a beautifully written love story that
masterfully weaves history, romance and magic into a time and era of
uncertainty.
I have never read a book set during
the early medieval times, and Ms. Rendfeld did an amazing job throughout the
book to keep the reader thoroughly informed with her well- researched details
of this time period.
Kim’s heroine, Alda was amazingly
depicted and did not disappoint. Her
strong character traits, forthright speech and fierce desire of love and
loyalty to her husband, Hruoland, surpassed any other I have read. The turns and twist throughout the entire story
kept me entertained page after page.
If you’re a romance reader that
loves accurate detail to history, this book is a must read.
