Superb writing, phenomenal storytelling, breathtaking detail, sparkling characterization, a moving tale of love and tragedy with plenty of wit and humor thrown in."â??Bookfoolery

Written with vivid detail and great historical accuracy, Shadows and Strongholds is a captivating historical novel of Medieval England. Fans of Philippa Gregory, Alison Weir, Sharon Kay Penman, and Bernard Cornwall will be hooked on this well-crafted medieval tale of pride, loyalty, and conflict as one man fights the shadows of his past and his future.

The one thing Brunin Fitzwarin knows best is nothing worthwhile is easyâ??especially not becoming a knight. But nothing will be more challenging than the past he's struggling to leave behind.

Sent away by his father, Brunin is now a knight-in-training to the Lord of Ludlowâ??and still utterly alone. That is, until the youngest daughter of the house, Hawise, befriends him.

With England in turmoil, Brunin must fight with his lord to support King Stephen for the English crown. As the war rages on and hits particularly close to home, Brunin must defeat the shadows of his childhood and take on the mantle of knight, confronting the future head on.

Herrlicher historischer Roman voller Gefühl und Spannung. Vor mittelalterlicher Kulisse gelingt es der Autorin voll und ganz, den Leser so in das Geschehen einzubinden, dass er die Aussenwelt vergessen wird. Mein absolutes Lieblingsbuch!! ( )

Ernalt, Gerald, leave the boy alone. Let him look if he desires.
Anyone would think that he had been born without a tongue in his head. I wonder about his wits too.
He needs encouragement from me...and the tenderness of women from you. He's not had much of either in his own household
Marion will want to bear his babies.And Hawise will lead him into more scrapes than a hound pup off the leash.
What I meant was that I do not know whether he will present himself in Carlisle, ride to join Stephen, or stay here and make trouble. Which strand will he choose?
