Known as the Dragon of Blackmour, for his foul temper and rumoured to drink the blood of the very children he spawns, Christopher of Blackmour has worked hard to foster the fear and repulsion with which medieval England views him. Gillian of Warewick is virtually sold by her cruel father to Blackmour to keep the peace and repay a debt.
Terrified of her new husband – she has been listening to the maids gossip, Gillian decides that anything is better than living with her father. Married in haste, Blackmour and Gillian head back to his imposing keep, both trepiditious of what their new union will bring. Blackmour is hiding a dangerous secret, one that should his enemies ever learn, he will be defenceless. He is blind. Accustomed to bluffing his way through unfamiliar situations and with the aid of a trusted friend, he has thus far protected his secret. Until Gillian. Her strong will and strong resolve slowly wears down Christopher’s defences, and the moment she discovers he is blind (since he has kept it from her all this time) is so moving. Her acceptance of his blindness and the changes she makes to ease his life are beautiful and so special. Of course, there were the tests she devised to test his blindness… things like moving his water glass, rearranging furniture… Lynn Kurland combines gentle wit, amazing characters and a wonderful plot to bring you a romance you will not soon forget.
