Synopsis |
She found him on the beach. His clothes spoke of wealth,his hands told of work,but it was the scars on his face that told Nan who the man before her was,Sir William Horton, the resident hero of Ashford. He was the richest man in five counties and a well known bastard. Rumors of every kind were whispered bout Ashford's infamous Black Knight,his all encompassing cruelty,his frozen heart, the twisted means by which he found pleasure. Every creature in Ashford knew to give him a wide berth, to keep wagging tongues still,and eyes trained anywhere but on him when he came into view.
So when Nan found him and was neither distant,silent nor looking anywhere but directly at him,Ashford's Black Night began to stumble over the oddity of this girl. Her fearlessness,her honesty,her intelligence,even her unassuming beauty held him captivated. But how could a supple beggar girl be so many things? Who was this woman that held his attention,or more importantly who had she been before coming to Ashford?

Review|
If you don't like period pieces this story is not for you. Whenever I read a story that is set in another time I'm always amazed. How do the writers change their way of thinking to fit the story they're writing? Our speech is different and our way of doing things is different. Black Knight is easy to follow though.
(If you're not sure about reading a story in a different time period.)
Plus the writing is very believable.
Nan is a beggar, she does what she can for who she can. She soon meets Sir William who is known has the Black Knight. He's surprised when Nan doesn't run from his scared face. He later takes advantage of circumstances and gets Nan to live with him has his mistress.
(But, words it has a companion because Nan still has her pride.)
Worth the read.
