The Crusades and the struggle for the English throne are the backdrop to this story. Rohan and his men have survived the torture inflicted in a Saracen prison, but he and his fellow mercenary knights will bear the scars -inside and out- forever. Arriving back in England, Rohan and his men are given the task of securing Rossmoor for King Edward's choice of successors Duke William. Unfortunately Isabel isn't so interested in letting Rohan and his men into her home. The battles within Rossmoor quickly become as heated as the battles on the land surrounding the stone manor. To win the war within Normans and Saxons alike are forced to look deep and decide what they truly value and then they have to fight for it.

Karin Tabke's begins her Blood Sword Legacy series with MASTER OF SURRENDER and the many men in Rohan's group are sure to make this series a long one. The language feels authentic to the time and the historical events make a richer story.

Book Summary

The Blood Sword Legacy

Bound by a brotherhood forged in the hell of a Saracen prison,
eight Blood Swords -- mercenary knights for William the
Conqueror -- set out to claim their legacies the only way they can:
by right of arms, by right of victory, by right of conquest.

For Sir Rohan du Luc, known as the Black Sword, enemies fall easily beneath his assault...until he comes face-to-face with a foe more worthy than any battle-hardened knight. Bold and courageous though she is, Saxon maiden Isabel of Alethorpe cannot stop Rohan de Luc from seizing Alethorpe and its people in the name of William the Conqueror. Then Rohan demands not just the manor, but Isabel herself. She vows that her heart will remain her own, even if she is forced to allow him to lay claim to her body. But while the lady's lips say no, Isabel's traitorous body is awakened to desire by the seductive attentions of this potent invader. Can she remain true to her Saxon heritage and her hopes that her brother may have survived the battlefield, or will Sir Rohan's skilled touch capture her unwilling heart as surely as his prowess with his sword captured her father's lands?
