BY HONOR BOUND TO SEEK THE FOUND, HERE BEGINS A TALESir Elias De Morville is no ordinary man of the sword, possessing both the heart of a warrior and a troubadour. When he sets out to rescue a boy who may be his son, more than ever he must prove worthy of the Wulfrith dagger that ranks him among the greatest of knights. And more difficult it becomes when not only must he protect the enigmatic … enigmatic woman who aids him, but guard against attraction to one forbidden him—she whose deceit could bring his family to its knees.
OF RAVELING AND TRAVELING BEYOND THE MOONLIT VEIL
Honore of no surname is of the world only insofar as she ventures into it to pluck unwanted children from dark places. When a foundling is stolen from the abbey, her greatest hope of recovering him is a knight to whom she dare not reveal her face nor the identity of the rebel priest whose flight from King Henry they aid. Finding herself cast in the role of Sir Elias’s wife, she struggles against a heart that longs to be his in truth. And prays what seems a necessary deception does not lay ruin to him.

‘Until you can submit your heart and mind to the Lord, let this warrior—your friend—be your peace.’
I absolutely love a good medieval tale and none tell it better than Tamara Leigh. This is my favorite time period and one in which she truly excels. So convincing is she as a writer of this era, the reader seemingly slips over the edge of the book and slides right into the story, not re-entering the present world until the last page is turned.
Sir Elias de Morville is on a mission to rescue the boy he thinks is his son when he encounters Honore of no surname, she born misbegotten. Honore abides at the abbey Bairnwood where unwanted foundlings find a home. The boy has run away from the abbey and she joins Sir Elias on his quest to find the child. Sir Elias must prove himself worthy of the Wulfen dagger many times on this journey for they encounter many a danger. Sir Elias and Honore find themselves falling for each other, but it cannot be, for Elias must marry nobly. How can this tale end well? Well, you will have to read it and see.
The Raveling makes a wonderful addition to Leigh’s ‘Age of Faith’ series. It is full and rich, leaving the reader gasping many times and causing their heart to near bursting with happiness at others. Her prose is like no other in this time period. I eagerly anticipate another in this series.
I enjoy medieval romance! Handsome knights and lovely damsels in distress set in the midst of spectacular kingdoms.
Honore of no surname is intimately acquainted with rejection. She longs to be accepted and cherished.
Sir Elias de Morville has been denied the desires of his heart. He has determined to do the duty required of him as heir.
The tale of Honore and Sir Elias begins begins with tragedy. It has many twists and turns that kept me engaged in their story. I so appreciated the spiritual truths woven throughout. Such a captivating romance!
I recommend this book to those who enjoy epic medieval romance.
I borrowed a copy through Kindle Unlimited. All views expressed are my honest opinion.
I adore this series, and Sir Elias is as completely swoon-worthy as all the other Age of Faith men, but the story itself dragged a little for me in places. I finished the book in print rather than the audio (which is FANTASTIC!) so I could skim a bit.
The ending to this series is wonderfully satisfying, and I have no doubt I will re-read it many times.
Life isn’t easy for a troubadour. Looking for a boy that may be his son. A foundling taken from the Abby in whose care he was entrusted. The woman from the Abby that also searches for the boy. It’s an interesting chase from England to Normandy complete with the usual murders, traitors, scumbags oh yeah the King too. Another good read.
I’ve long been a fan of Tamara Leigh’s medieval stories, so I just had to snag this one as soon as it was released! I was happy to learn that Sir Elias was getting his own story and excited to meet the Lady Honore that would keep him on his toes!
In signature Tamara Leigh style, this story delivered all the page-turning, heart-pumping, sword-clashing moments I expected. With a dash of unexpected twists that left me holding my breath in anticipation.
Honore is a heroine that I won’t soon forget. She has a quiet strength about her that draws you in and invites you to linger. She underestimates her own worth, yet champions others who have been cast-out and deemed unworthy.
To say much more would spoil the story for you, so I will simply say that I loved reading this story. I didn’t want to put it down and it kept me up way past my normal bedtime. I eagerly anticipate reading more wonderful stories from Tamara Leigh.
The Raveling can be read alone, however, it does reference characters from previous books. These stories are so good, in all honesty, you’ll want to enjoy the entire collection!
If you enjoy stories with castles and kings, knights and ladies, then you won’t want to miss out on this fantastic collection of stories!
