In the Shadow of Midnight Marsha Canham 9780440206132 Books

I loved this book and especially the characters Eduard and the lady Ariel. He is a complex and totally charismatic hero who finds himself immersed in dangerous situations with a historical background. This story is well paced with other intriguing characters which will hold your attention. My only regret is that I did not read this trilogy in sequence. I read book 3 first (the Last Arrow) then 1 and 2. Since you have recurring characters throughout the trilogy as well as similar plot lines it is best to read them as intended for the full effect.

In the Shadow of Midnight Marsha Canham 9780440206132 Books Reviews

The author must have been having a gas writing this series. Lots of action, witty dialogue (LOVED SPARROW!!), and well written secondary characters. A nice take on the Robin Hood legends. I know another reviewer or two complained that there were too many characters and not enough romance, but those were complicated times, and this book tries to represent that. The author does play a little loose with the historical characters (I'm pretty sure the two welsh brothers were either the first Llywellen's uncles or the brothers of Llywellen the last, who was the grandson of the first Llywelen that came LONG AFTER the reign of King John), so don't take this book for a history lesson.

If too much history, intrigue and complicated characters are not for you, there are PLENTY of lackluster "historical" romances to be found that contain light weight predictable plots with no other purpose than to set as a back drop for a book laden with gratuitous sex.
Marsha Canham has delivered an amazing trilogy of Knights and their ladies with Through A Dark Mist, (book 1), In the Shadow of Midnight (book 2) and The Last Arrow (book 3), all set in the time of first Richard the Lion Heart and then his brother and successor to the throne of England, the horrible King John. The first is the story of the Black Wolf of Lincoln and Lady Servanne de Briscourt. The Wolf steals her for ransom on his way to regaining his rightful name and saving a young heir to the throne. His name, Lucien Wardieu, and his lands were stolen by a bastard brother, the Dragon Lord of Bloodmoor Keep (Lady Servanne's betrothed) who thought he had killed his older brother in the Crusades. It is set in the woods of Lincoln and at the Bloodmoor Castle in England. The Black Wolf is truly a drool worthy hero and Lady Servanne is a delicate beauty with a spine of iron. His was a heart that couldn't be touched until Lady Servanne's courage and purity of heart captured him. Book 2 is the story of the Wolf's cub, Eduard, and his red haired headstrong love, Lady Ariel de Clare, who will not be marrying the man King John has promised her to thank you. She has her own plans but even those go awry as her heart is captured by the Wolf's cub, Eduard FitzRandwulf d'Amboise who has been tasked to transport her safely to a prince in Wales her father has agreed she'll marry instead of the King's man. (Eduard first appears in book 1). Book 3, which I thought was the best of the three though each is unbelievably good, is the story of Brenna Wardieu, daughter of the Black Wolf and the sensual and dark Griffyn Renaud who is full of dark secrets but cannot withstand the lure of Brenna who can shoot the long bow better than any man and can ride a Knight's warhorse. The third book raises all the Robin Hood legends and weaves a story that had me racing to follow the action and tearing up at the love scenes that tore at my heart all at the same time. It was simply magical. Since I couldn't put them down and I will be reading them again, they get my 5 star rating. Marsha Canham has done it again!
The middle of the medieval trilogy by Ms. Canham, it did not disappoint. It could stand alone, of course and still be a really good read. The plot was tight, great pacing, and a beautiful love story between protagonists who were as near equals as medieval people could be. You felt was if you were in the scenes, both in the splendor of the castle and the green forests, full of mystery and suspense. I love Ms. Canham's books and can't recommend them enough. You will love this, and I recommend you read the full trilogy.
