1125 Henry II returns to England with his agreement for peace with France. Henry’s wife Eleanor of Aquitaine, welcomes Henry and eagerly awaits his news. If England has made treaty with France, England will enjoy victory over Europe for many years, and Eleanor will ensure her position in court in England. The royal court is taken by surprise by an enemy and Eleanor is stolen away to a foreign land. She meets the mysterious warrior, Wolfram, who spirits Eleanor back to England and Henry. Wolfram is promised a title, fiefs, and a province in England as Henry’s reward. Yet Wolfram would give all of it away to have one glorious night of love, with Eleanor. Except Henry has welcomed Wolfram to court to keep him near. Henry knows Wolfram is not who he pretends and the King plots to reveal Wolfram’s true plan to overthrow England for France, Young Morgan Le Faye, arrives at Henry II’s court along with an entourage of indentured servants, promised to serve the royal order. When Eleanor is captured, the court learns Morgan has the gift of foresight. She is groomed to serve the crown and to become Eleanor’s and the King’s advisor. Eleanor fears more trouble soon may come to England—and she is right—an ancient evil is threatening to sweep through the land. Merland of Briton is summoned to cleanse the royal court of sudden illnesses, night fevers, and ghosts that prowl the royal castle walls. Morgan discovers the pact Henry made with France for peace is a curse. Philip II of France arranged for Eleanor’s abduction and to place Wolfram in Henry’s graces so France is first to learn every plan England makes… King Henry is besotted with young, beautiful Morgan and he demands she wed him. Eleanor will not give Henry sons, and the King believes Morgan will is his secret to ultimate power. Merland warns Morgan to not marry Henry or a monstrous evil power will help enemies to usurp Henry, overtake the country and turn England into a monstrous land that will destroy the innocent and dominate the Old World. Excerpt Henry gazed upon Morgan. “You are a magnificent,” Henry said. “Your dark golden tresses, your honey scented skin and ruby red lips… Morgan you have bewitched me. I want nothing except to bequeath you your heart’s desire.” Morgan stood. “My Lord, please.” “Touch your hand to my heart,” Henry said, grabbing hold of Morgan’s hand as he held her over his chest. “Feel how it beats.” Morgan could feel Henry’s heartbeat. While she could see her benefactress bedridden behind the King. Lady Eleanor had seen Morgan through the most horrific moments since she had found her in the French glade. How could Morgan think of doing or speaking anything against Eleanor when she had opened her heart and the Henry’s castle to her? “My King, you must let me go to my Queen,” begged Morgan. “She is tainted with fever. The herbs I am ministering are helping,” Morgan pulled away from Henry and rubbed more of the lavender and myrrh gently onto Lady Eleanor. “You, Morgan, have lessened the Queen’s fever?” Henry said. Morgan nodded. “You have knowledge of healing, knowing learned by sages, or witches,” stated Henry. “My Lord?” Henry yanked Morgan to stand in front of him. “Is this why you have come to court? To test the crown’s resolve? To bring the royal seal to its knees?” Morgan struggled against Henry’s chest. Their bodies collided, and Morgan felt the King’s very large member snaking near her thigh. “My King, I have pledged my allegiance to the crown, to you,” pleaded Morgan. “That’s right. I am your King. Your duty is to do whatever I ask—“ Henry bent his lips to taste Morgan. She bit Henry’s lip as she flinched. “You little wench—“ Henry raised his hand to Morgan. She threw her hands up and Henry slapped them away. Henry thrust his arms under Morgan’s dress and inched his hands over her breasts. “You would deny your King? Let me show you the delights of honoring your future husband—“

6 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Don't bother By Misfit The blurb on this gives the entire *story* away, so there will be no recap in this review. About that blurb - according to that Henry and Eleanor's story begins in 1125. Wiki says Henry was born in 1133, and I have no idea if the author is just making this stuff up as he goes along, thinks he knows this period and has no idea how far off he is, or is writing alternative history. I just don't know, but from looking at the other reviews on the book page, I am definitely in the minority.*shrugs*"The four soldiers on horses entered the lands of Normandy to the blare of trumpets and song. Villagers living around the castle bowed to greet Henry II, Saxon ruler of Normandy."Well, he wouldn't be Henry II of England until he's crowned king in England. I have no idea what Normandy is doing with a Saxon ruler, but I thought Henry was Duke of Normandy. I could be wrong, wouldn't be the first time."They're only care, for Henry, sovereign and ruler of Normandy, Wales, and the outer lying provinces of Scotland."Well, another new title for Henry. The man gets around. And shouldn't it be their?"The servants and maidservants bowed their heads. Henry neared the young maidservant as the young maiden averted her gaze from Henry. His manhood was arched regally and prominent, the maiden was unaccustomed to the King revealing his physical gifts to those in his circle."!!!!"If Eleanor didn't, she would never find out why she was betrothed to the viper of a man who had slayed her first husband, William."Her first husband was William? I thought she was first married to Louis..."She was Eleanor of Aquitaine, daughter and heir to the richest land and provinces in France. Eleanor belonged to no man, except one. She raced by horseback to see her father, King Phillip....I defer to those with more knowledge of all things Eleanor, but Wiki says her father was William and I'm pretty sure he was duke of his duchy and not king, and I don't think the duchy was considered part of France back in the days...Oh, and did I tell you all the name of Henry's castle in his Saxon kingdom in Normandy? "Castle Wyvern". Google that, I dare ya.Now we toss in a band of nasty Norsemen from Scandinavia (!!) bent on capturing Eleanor, plus an appearance later in the story of remarkably well preserved Morgan le Fey and Merland (sic) the Magician, plus there's a reference to Joan of Arc's fate (!!). At this point we're all over the map and it gets weirder and weirder and the grammatical errors are flying fast and furious."You are, my wife!"good, you're color is returning..."Isle of Briton"Isn't that Britain?"I, will produce and heir.""What was this prayer you gave?" Wolfram said. "That the Lord or Father would send our deliverer."*spoiler ahead*I think I've punished everyone enough. Don't bother, not even at the freebie price is this worth it. Worse news - the story isn't over. Sounds like there's going to be a sequel since at the end Henry divorces Eleanor with a snap of his fingers (Henry VIII should have taken lessons from him) and marries le Fey.

9 of 12 people found the following review helpful. Eleanor of Aquitaine, Henry II, and Tina Fey's Younger Sister Morgan By The Just-About-Average Ms. M This is an unbelievable bit of writing, I must say. How anyone could cram such an avalanche of grammatical errors, misused punctuation, wrong word choices, and every other imaginable assault on the English language in 79 puny Kindle pages is astonishing. How those same 79 pages could contain one of the worst excuses for a “novelette” in any recognizable genre is equally mind-boggling. This mess, this horrible assault on the intellectual sensibilities of any reader over the age of six purports to be a “historical romance,” but it most assuredly is not a romance, nor has it the slightest claim whatever to anything remotely historical.I suppose one of the most singular features of this book is the number of glowing reviews. How on earth could anyone overlook the atrocious writing and grammar and gush about what a wonderful read this was? Perhaps, judging from the generic words and phrases used to describe this terrible waste of Kindle space, these folks didn’t actually read the 79 pages.I read the entire thing, painful though it was. Let’s deal with the alleged history first:Eleanor of Aquitaine was the daughter of Duke Guillaume [William] of Aquitaine. Her first husband was Louis VII, king of France, whom she married at age 13. Their marriage was annulled in 1152, and she married Henry, then count of Anjou and duke of Normandy, that same year. Henry became king of England in 1154.Henry II did not have a drop of Saxon blood in his veins. Not. One. There is a lot one can say about Henry, but sitting on his throne naked for the delectation of various serving girls is not one of them. Nor are any of the other deliberately salacious goings-on poor Henry is forced to endure in these benighted 79 Kindle pages.Joan of Arc was burned at the stake for heresy in May 1430, so that ridiculous nun, Sister Reina, could not have said Morgan was like her. Surely the fact that nearly two centuries separate Eleanor’s and Henry’s shenanigans and Joan’s martyrdom would have been noticed by the folks just loving this story? Or perhaps not...The decision to throw in completely incorrect depictions of alleged Norsemen was as misguided as everything else, but at least one should know something about them. That would be as easy as catching a few episodes of The Vikings on the History Channel.And finally, the bizarre pairing of Eleanor with “Morgan Le Fey” and the introduction of someone named “Merland” does nothing but induce an outburst of incredulous laughter. Perhaps the lovely Morgan is indeed Tina Fey’s younger sister. I’m betting the author of this mess actually didn’t know how to spell “Merlin.” And so we get a bit of risible fantasy thrown into the mix, thus making it worse than before. Wait—that is simply not possible.There are no fewer than a dozen examples of horrible writing on every page. Too many for me to bother with. Just check out the “Look Inside” feature and you’ll see enough to deter you from reading further.This 79 Kindle pages masquerading as a novel/novelette/novella was free, which after having read it, I decided was far too much to pay. And like one reviewer said, I did read this nonsense in one sitting, which is good, since the very idea of wasting another nanosecond on this drivel is nauseating.

A Gothic thriller and captivating love story set in Civil War Mississippi   Seventeen-year-old Violet Dancey has been left at home in Mississippi with a laudanum-addicted stepmother and love-crazed stepsister while her father fights in the war—a war that has already claimed her twin brother. When she comes across a severely injured Union soldier lying in an abandoned lodge deep in the woods, things begin to change. Thomas is the enemy—one of the men who might have killed her own brother—and yet she’s drawn to him. But Violet isn’t Thomas’s only visitor. Someone has been tending to his wounds—keeping him alive—and it becomes chillingly clear that this care hasn’t been out of compassion. Against the dangers of war and threatening powers of voodoo, Violet fights to protect her home, her family, and the man she’s begun to love.   “An exciting story—juicy, romantic and at times quite chilling.” —BookPage   “An atmospheric story in which darkness houses mysteries, [with] rich imagery and imaginative subplots.” —Kirkus Reviews   “Compelling. . . . There’s a languid ease to the prose that invites readers to become fully immersed.” —The BulletinFrom the Hardcover edition.

From School Library Journal Gr 7 Up—Violet's life is already in turmoil after her brother dies fighting for the South in the War Between the States, but now things have been completely upended: two distant cousins are coming to stay for the summer, and her father has remarried, bringing his new wife and her daughter into their home, then leaving for the war himself. But when Violet and her younger cousin discover Thomas, a wounded Union soldier holed up in a ruin deep in the woods, things become really complicated. Nickerson retold the Bluebeard story in Strands of Bronze and Gold (Knopf, 2013), and here she recrafts the ballad of Tam Lin, setting it in Mississippi during the Civil War. Her tale is strikingly atmospheric: Violet's summer feels languid and sticky with brief moments of lightness and respite during her visits to Thomas (with whom she is falling in love despite herself). Through it all, a thrumming drumbeat of danger grows louder until reaching the wild conclusion. But while Nickerson makes the most of the setting with the book's mood, it's also her story's Achilles heel. The treatment of race is problematic: Violet's family's slave, Laney, is referred to as a "servant" and promises she won't leave, since her family and Violet's are linked. The villains are also the shadowy VanZeldts, who practice a mix of hoodoo and snake worship they learned in Africa. Fans of Nancy Werlin's Impossible (Dial, 2008), dark faeries, magical realism, historical fantasy, and star-crossed love will find plenty to enjoy here.—Gretchen Kolderup, New York Public Library

Review Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, February 2014:"There’s a languid ease to the prose that invites readers to become fully immersed in the sweltering heat of a Mississippi summer, and Nickerson paints a picture of the Southern landscape that is rustic but ethereal and at times, eerie."Publishers Weekly, January 13, 2014:"Tomboyish Violet’s interactions with Seeley and the Union soldier are charming."Kirkus Reviews, February 1, 2014:"Far from the typical Civil War romance...[w]ith rich imagery and imaginative subplots driving the storyline."BookPage:"An exciting story—juicy, romantic and at times quite chilling."From the Hardcover edition.

About the Author For many years, JANE NICKERSON and her family lived in a big old house in Aberdeen, Mississippi, where she worked as the children’s librarian at the local public library. She has always loved the South, “the olden days,” Gothic tales, houses, kids, writing, and interesting villains. Her first novel was Strands of Bronze and Gold, a retelling of the Bluebeard fairy tale. Jane and her husband recently returned to Mississippi.

This novel was an amazing, descriptive, richly written novel full of paranormal fantasy, sweet romance, and dramatic historical fiction. It was a romance set in the Civil War, with a slight touch of fantasy, and quickly became one of my favorite novels of the year. It was interesting, unique, and full of depth. A novel people of all ages will enjoy.A Southern girl. A wounded soldier. A chilling force deep in the forest. All collide at night’s darkest hour.Seventeen-year-old Violet Dancey has been left at home in Mississippi with a laudanum-addicted stepmother and love-crazed stepsister while her father fights in the war—a war that has already claimed her twin brother.When she comes across a severely injured Union soldier lying in an abandoned lodge deep in the woods, things begin to change. Thomas is the enemy—one of the men who might have killed her own brother—and yet she's drawn to him. But Violet isn't Thomas's only visitor; someone has been tending to his wounds—keeping him alive—and it becomes chillingly clear that this care hasn't been out of compassion.Against the dangers of war and ominous powers of voodoo, Violet must fight to protect her home and the people she loves. From the author of Strands of Bronze and Gold comes a haunting love story and suspenseful thriller based on the ancient fairy tale of “Tam Lin.” -From Amazon.comThe plot of this novel was very interesting. I'll be honest, I haven't read many historical novels this year (let alone ever) but this novel seriously renewed my love for historical novels. This is a perfect example of one of those historical novels that is educating without becoming boring or disinteresting. This novel keeps the action coming and keeps you turning pages way into the night. The setting of the Civil War is highly addicting, what with the hoop skirts and frilly dresses for the female readers, and the background of the war and fighting for male readers. Overall, anyone can read this novel and enjoy it tremendously. It was interesting, funny, dramatic, and simply a delight to read.The characters were all unique and interesting to read from. They all mingled together in this wonderful story without a hitch. The main character, Violet, over time became an independent woman, and found her own way as she was forced with many hardships and difficulties. It was very easy to relate to her. I personally fell on love with Thomas's character. He was strong, protective, handsome, and brave, and I think all reader will connect with him and Violet.The writing in this novel was spectacular. It was erudite and interesting, and matched the plot and tone of the novel perfectly. The writing was very original and simple. It made me feel like the author writes true, writes from her heart, because this novel does not seem fake or put-on in any way. That is one of the best things of this novel. The trueness and simplicity of the writing. It flows, it's interesting, and one of the best historical fiction novels I have ever read.Overall, this novel was thoughtful, interesting, romantic, dramatic, and just simply amazing. I loved the topic of the Civil War, especially the southern viewpoint and setting of the novel. I also loved th insightful characters, the interesting plot, perfect dialogue, and true writing. Put all of those things together and you have an amazing novel sure to delight readers of all kinds. I definitely recommend this novel to everyone.

"Legendary" story full of mystery and intrigue By Ashlee Carter After reading Strands, I was counting the days to the second Nickerson book release and it was well worth the wait! The old South setting and story based on the legend of Tam Lin set the stage for an intriguing tale full of both mystery and romance. I most enjoyed Nickerson’s development of the teenage protagonist, Violet, a civil war era Southerner who befriends slaves and whose heart is put to the test as she learns to accept her new circumstances with a brother just lost to war, father gone to war, spacey stepmother and superficial stepsister. When her cousins Dorian and Seeley enter the story, she again won me over with her love and understanding of the boy and her ability to quickly discern Dorian’s true character. Be aware, the story starts out a bit slow, but the pace picks up a few chapters in and captivates! The love story between Violet and Thomas (an injured Union solder) is perfectly timed, with an interesting twist at the end. The dual antagonists (Dorian and the voodoo-practicing VanZeldts) provide added depth to the story and increase the mystery and suspense. Love Nickerson’s style and am looking forward to the third book.

But you know how you see a car you really like and then you see it everywhere By Tracy @ Cornerfolds I don't remember exactly when I first took notice of The Mirk and Midnight Hour. But you know how you see a car you really like and then you see it everywhere? That's what happened with this book. I wasn't sold on the description because I'm not big on historical fiction... It's also a retelling, which is one of my favorite things ever, but I'd never heard of the fairy tale it's based on. But once I saw the cover I kept seeing it EVERYWHERE! Finally, I just gave in and decided to give it a listen.This is the story of Violet Dancey and her Union soldier, Thomas... and it's a slow one. In fact, the soldier doesn't even come into the picture until halfway through the (really long) book! Despite that, these two characters were very enjoyable, as was the romance.Violet has grown up in the South and has lost her brother to the war already when her father also goes off to fight. She is left with her new stepmother and stepsister, Sunny, along with her cousins unexpected houseguests. Violet is a strong protagonist who stands up for what she believes in and, even more importantly, is not afraid to change her opinions with new information. Thomas is an injured soldier when Violet first meets him and is completely at her mercy. Over a long enough period of time that it doesn't seem unbelievable, they get to know each other and eventually fall in love.Then there are other characters... Sunny is a dimwitted moron who lets people walk all over her while simultaneously being a bully. She is such a doormat that she commits a huge offense against her loved ones that really made me want to slap her in her dumb, blonde face. Dorian is the smooth-talking cousin who you kind of know is no good from the very moment he's introduced. His character is convincingly despicable and he works well within the story as a big bad. The relationship between Sunny and Dorian is infuriating, but it's realistic enough.I felt like the world building in this novel was sufficient, but it definitely could have been better. There was a lot of potential for amazing descriptions with all the different settings within the book. While I was able to picture some of them based on the description provided, there were other things (like the main house) that I never got a clear image of.The story itself was interesting, but it didn't WOW me at all. Like I've already said, it was very slow. Most audiobooks are very quick to listen to, but this one seemed to drag. Honestly, though, I'd say it read about the same as some other historical romance novels I've tried. The voodoo, which I'm guessing somehow tied into the fairy tale this retelling, seemed very strange and never quite explained all the way. I'd actually say that this might have been an even better story without that added element. It honestly just seemed a little strange within what was basically a civil war historical forbidden romance story.I do think that this was still a pretty enjoyable read. Despite being very slow to start, I did like the story. I just think that it could have been better as an original historical romance. This obviously isn't my genre and I was probably just the wrong person to read this in the first place. I'd definitely recommend it to fans of historical romance and (probably) fans of the fairy tale of Tam Lin.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. and enjoyed reading this short story very much By Balletomane I am a huge fan of Theophile Gautier, and enjoyed reading this short story very much. A friend of mine read the story in French and liked it so much that I decided to search for an English translation. The French version is called "La Morte Amoreuse." I was happy to fine the book with the title changed to "Clarimonde," one of the main characters in the story. You rarely see books today written as well as the 18th and 19th century authors composed. They are truly a delight to read, as the language is so lovely.This story ends with an abrupt moral that was a delightful surprise for me!

Early one winter morning, while Jonas was living upon the farm, in the employment of Oliver's father, he came groping down, just before daylight, into the great room. The great room was, as its name indicated, quite large, occupying a considerable portion of the lower floor of the farmer's house. There was a very spacious fireplace in one side, with a settle, which was a long seat, with a very high back, near it.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. An interesting story of a time past By D. D. LeDu Published in 1921, this is the author's account of a post-WWI journey from Capetown through Rhodesia and the Congo. Having been a correspondent in Europe during the war, he had a number of contacts (including General Smuts and King Leopold of Belgium) that resulted in exceptional access to transportation and otherwise remote areas.This is an interesting book on two counts. Firstly, it includes a panopoly of images of Africa at critical period of transition, including details of early diamond mining, river transport, rail travel, etc. There are stories of African life (both native and European), laced together by the thread of colonial rule.Secondly, the author discusses the personalities (such as Rhodes, Jameson, and Smuts) who stood as giants of their time. Interestingly he points out that Americian engineers were crucial to developing the mines and railways. I think that with Churchill we passed the era when one man, by dint of personality and intellect, could direct the currents of history. Africa was the last sphere where great men (for good or bad) can be said to have had an indisputable impact still visible more than a century later.I greatly enjoy period books such as this. It would be a great mistake to approach "An African Adventure" with the intent of judging by our standards and with 20-20 hindsight. For one thing, the author was as much a product of his time as we are of ours. This shows through in his attitude towards colonialization and race.But the book is well-written and the stories well-told. Unconsciously, I found myself deeply admiring those who faced and overcame the challenges of developing the "Dark Continent". It was with effort that I had to remind myself that the outcome of these heroic efforts were, to say the least, questionable. Regardless, it is difficult to deny the force of character required to accomplish such feats.I hardily recommend this book. My only warning is that it may cause you (as it did me) to spend an inordinate amount of time delving into 19th Century African history.

3 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Sad Four Stars By Victoria M. Wall What this play dramatizes greed, mistrust, murder, superficial actions within marital life - illuminating despair. The lack of hope in this piece is what makes me give it only four stars. There are people who see anything this author does as golden. I have not studied her poetry. Milay puts into a theatrical context sadness of human nature's lack of loving.An adolescent in the 60s, I lived two years in Southern Illinois, while my father served in South Vietnam, in the USAF. The high school I attended used "Aria Da Capo" for their annual theater competitions. I had modest professional theater experiences through my mother, an equity actress. So I got casted as female lead, `Columbine.' I was the only girl with four boys, such a deal! We won every competition, traveling all over Illinois. As an adult I recognized the significance competing with Chicago students. At a class reunion in Illinois one fellow remembered a line from the show. I was astounded a classmate could retain lines for me forgotten for decades. But I did not ever forget the quite dramatic relatively dark themes running through this play.So I recently purchased a copy again . . . the core messages in the script ultimately are depressing - killing over ownership, some cores of war. Serious study of war began for me reacting to the Cuban Missile Crisis. War is hell, but so are many places in this world. Communism (a theme in this play too) is another form of hell on earth. What the fall of the Soviet Union has taught me, education has limitations. The Russian mafia many have PhDs (Read "Darkness at Dawn: The Rise of the Russian Criminal State). Thank God Bill Gates didn't let formal education get in his way, not that he is a saint, but he's created great opportunities.This is also a framework play- play within a play - the marriage is the `inside' play. Her characters are done in white face using mismatched puppets, Columbine and Pierrot. The symbolism is powerful.When this was written people stayed married. Milay, popular during roaring twenties was making a mockery of marriage. Well people don't stay married today. The raveling of marriage has impacted the crime rate, mental illness growth, what will our country look like fifty years from today? What we watch effects our behavior, this is a highly cerebral work, certainly better than the gratuitous sex and violence of today. Mother Teresa says the real poverty is in the West.Doing this performance did lead to other opportunities for all of us- however a dark depressing piece of work - for a bunch of teenagers, it did effect my thinking. Illuminating the weaknesses of behaviors the play gives nothing to off set despair, no light of hope are found within these lines. So only four stars.Hmmmmmmm . . . I will begin playwriting for adolescents to perform now . . .

She was a very personal poet; that needs to be kept in mind. As a dramatist she was uneven but like this is worth reading. Just, I would not make too much of it.
