Shirley Forrest Nomakeo –
I used an Audible credit for this audiobook because it wasn’t available on AudiobooksUnleashed. Having read Book 1, I had to pick up this one. It is a continuation of Aveline’s adventures as a knight in the Crusades. Surrounded by history she sets off to find Quinton who is serving a sentence he and Aveline suffered earlier. There will be a Book 3 because there are unresolved elements. The covers are similar and I passed this book by several times before I read the fine print. A truly great read and narration.
