Just a few words to introduce this, the last of the "There and Back Again" trilogy. Firstly, if you have read the other two parts, I am honoured and thankful. Secondly if you intend to read this, the third, I hope you will love reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing it.
At the very beginning there is almost a tragedy, prevented only by the skilled midwifery of Aunt Gwyneth. There is famine in the land, but help comes from an unexpected source and then through treachery, the Artefact and it's precious contents are stolen from the Lady of the Lake and it falls into the hands of a malicious person of Magic, seeking to use it for her own vile purposes.
Because of this Guy and his twins are at risk of abduction, but the family find they have many willing to stand in their defence. Guy's courage never fails him and he is, as always, willing to give his life for those he loves. Then, on his birthday, events occur that finally convince him of how very much Auriel loves him.
Expect love in abundance in this tale, both of the soul and of the body. (Well, I couldn't leave that out could I? It's always such a pleasure to describe Guy's 'Special gifts'.)
Sadly, for a short while, his lust overcomes his morality, during a prolonged separation from his beautiful wife. There is also kidnap, poisoning, imprisonment, comedy and a terrible event that marks the Gisborne family forever.
I write solely in honour of Richard Armitage, such a fine actor, who brought the Character of Sir Guy to life for me.
There could be no finer inspiration. All others are a pale imitation.
Sir Guy of Gisborne comes back from the Holy Land, on his conscience the knowledge of having killed Marian. Appointed Sheriff of Nottingham in the place of Vaisey, he struggles to find a way to make up for his past wrongdoings, but it's a very hard task.
Guy meets again - after many years - Lady Violet of Chetwood, a childhood friend of Robin Hood; the widow of a man who mistreated her, the young woman has returned to her ancestral mansion and has always helped her friend Robin since he has been declared an outlaw, and therefore she's not well-disposed towards Guy, whom she knows since she was a child. Complicated dynastic events, however, will force her to approach precisely the black-clad knight for a marriage of convenience...
