Never before published-from the New York Times bestselling author of Infamous The daughter of Jory de Warenne and lady-in-waiting to Queen Isabelle, the spirited Brianna de Beauchamp is betrothed to the distinguished Lincoln Robert de Warenne, but yearns for a deeper passion. When she meets the dark and dangerous Wolf Mortimer-a man who possesses the Celtic gift of second sight-she finds it impossible not to surrender to his fierce desire. And when Wolf's father-the queen's lover, Roger Mortimer-is imprisoned in the Tower of London, she finds herself swept on an adventure that not only puts her heart in peril, but jeopardizes the life of the man who could be her destiny... Review: Notorious - Un livre plus historique qu’une histoire d’amour. Si on connaît les châteaux anglais du moyen âge ( tous encore debout contrairement à ceux de France) c’est amusant à lire. Sans cela il fait être bien au courant de cette époque pour apprécier l’histoire. Les héros sont sympas mais peu crédibles en particulier Wolf et ses dons bien utiles mais peu réalistes. Review: Brianna de Beauchamp and Roger "Wolf" Mortimer - Brianna, the daughter of Marjory de Beauchamp, is betrothed to her cousin, Lincoln Robert de Beauchamp. Brianna goes to court to serve as Lady-in-waiting to Queen Isabelle. King Edward II is a most unworthy ruler, giving all of his attention to his lover, young Hugh Despencer. The barons unite against the Despencers. Some are killed, some are imprisoned for treason, and some are in hiding. Roger Mortimer, being assured of a pardon, surrenders and, along with his two sons, is imprisoned. Brianna and Isabelle devise a way to communicate with the prisoners and ultimately help them escape. I love Ms. Henley's historical novels. She absolutely brings dry history to life and allows her readers to live inside it. Sometimes there are so many characters on the page that the reader would benefit from a program to refer to, but this story involves England, Scotland and Wales with references to Ireland and France.

Great, so enjoyable to get the continuing history of story.
I liked the continuing storyline. Virgina Henley is a wonderful writer one of my favorites.

Typical English lords,ladies,kings and queens. All jockeying for a larger piece of the power our as well as the wealth pie, with lesser lords and ladies playing a part in the outcome. Good storyline though.
