About this listen
1333. Edward III is at war with Scotland. Nineteen-year-old Sir Harry de Lyon yearns to prove himself and jumps at the chance when a powerful English baron, William Montagu, invites him on a secret mission with a dozen elite knights.
They ride north, to a crumbling Scottish keep, capturing a feral, half-starved boy within and putting the other inhabitants to the sword.
But nobody knows why the flower of English knighthood snuck over the border to capture a savage, dirty teenage boy. Montagu gives the boy to Harry as his squire, with only two rules: don't let him escape, and convert him to the English cause.
At first, it's hopeless. The Scottish boy is surly and violent and eats anything that isn't nailed down. Then Harry begins to notice things: that, as well as Gaelic, the boy speaks flawless French, with an accent much different from Harry's Norman one. That he can read Latin too. And when Harry finally convinces the boy – Iain mac Maíl Coluim – to cut his filthy curtain of hair, the face revealed is the most beautiful thing Harry has ever seen.
With Iain as his squire, Harry wins tournament after tournament and becomes a favourite of the King. But underneath the pageantry smoulder twin secrets: Harry and Iain's growing passion for each other, and Iain's mysterious heritage. As England hurtles towards war once again, these secrets will destroy everything Harry holds dear.
A sexy, slow-burn enemies-to-lovers historical romance, Alex De Campi delivers a steamy but tender love story. "Brokeback Mountain" meets "50 Shades of Grey" set again the vivid backdrop of Medieval Britain. Perfect for fans of Madeline Miller's Song of Achilles, the novels of C. S. Pacat, and K.J. Charles.
This novel contains explicit sexual content and adult themes.

Absolutely incredible!
This was beautiful, heartbreaking, angsty and passionate. A forbidden love story set in the medieval backdrop of England, Scotland and France. This story was wonderfully narrated and beautifully written. I loved Ian’s fierce nature and determination and Harry’s integrity and devotion. Descriptively spicy and ends in a hard won HEA.

Deep Story
Wonderful and deep story. Sometimes got a bit over the sexual stuff, but the story itself was fantastic.

Slow burn, angst, hea
Slow to start, but engaging story once it gets going. Love the relationship between the mcs. The angst in the middle and second half was giving me second hand anxiety! But it was well written with a lovely hea.
