An arranged marriage
An unexpected love...?

Rhianon might be a reluctant wife...but ruling with her new husband is revealing a passionate side to Peredur that Rhianon is anything but reluctant to explore...
My Review:
This wonderful read had completely
packed up my summer holidays! Who would have thought that I would be so
engrossed by it?
Rhianon knows after being a widow that her father will marry her off again but she has no idea her new husband conceals mystery beneath his icy warrior. From the beginning, I had this thought that Peredur would be cold towards Rhianon but he isn’t. On the contrary, he is so thoughtful, caring and affectionate meanwhile Rhianon is still reluctant to do her duty as a wife after what she experienced. With their unexplored passion and married life, I kept wondering who would be surrendering first.
Moreover the unrevealed mystery of Peredur’s past also kept me wonder what had happened and why he had been called heartless. Turning the pages over pages, I was dumbfounded by Peredur’s revelation, how is that possible? Despite their issue, I was thoroughly blown away by history of Medieval Wales and the morloi. It was so beautifully written and deeply researched. What annoyed me a lot was why I couldn’t pronounce Welsh very well. I wish I had learnt Welsh before reading it!
Arranged marriage trope is my cup of tea and Lissa Morgan cleverly packed it with wonderful history of Medieval Wales. I so look forward to Llywelyn’s story!
