In this historical romance, a man that was so badly beaten he couldn't be identified is found and brought to Castle Calon. The year is 1289.
Morwenna, Lady of the castle, is afraid the man is Carrick of Wybren because he wears the signet ring of the Wybren family. Carrick broke her heart and stole her virtue three years ago. He also has been accused of starting the fire that killed all seven members of his family a year ago.
Unfortunately, Wybren has no memory of who he is or what happened to him. There is also someone lurking in the halls of the castle who calls himself the Redeemer. He is looking for justice and wants Morwenna as his own.
Jackson brings to vivid life a time and place far in the past. She is a master at creating her reality and taking the reader there. I didn't know who the Redeemer was until he was revealed but several clues had me guessing right up until the end. I would recommend giving them all a try.
Armchair Interviews says: This is the third in her medieval romance series.
