The "Beautiful Bastard", Soren, now feared because of the scars he carries from wounds he suffered in battle and the vengeance which spurned him to live.
Sybilla, blinded by the brutal force of Soren's invading forces, she must somehow try to protect her people - even though blinded - and married to the man who came to destroy her.
Soren is absolutely wonderful *sigh*. Scarred, tortured soul that he is. Soren realizes Sybilla will experience the same things he did with his recovery and he helps her through them. The beginning of the softening of the Alpha. A steamy/hot story but not explicit.
What a wonderful tale with a bit of history blended in. This is the last of Ms. Brisbin's The Knights of Brittany Series, but it can be read as a standalone. Be sure to read the Author's Note at the end, as that will explain a bit about the battles and the people of the time.
Good story premise; just wish it was longer. The characters could have had so much more depth and their struggles could have been fleshed out some more so that in the end the reader doesn't feel so rushed. It felt to me that the author wound up things too quickly, as if she was getting to the end of the page-limit for the publisher and had to get it all done with as few words as possible. It's a good story- I love tortured heroes- but I was disappointed that there wasn't more.
