Medieval Monday! First Encounter in Soul of the Wolf by Judith Sterling!
It’s Medieval Monday! Today, I am honored to feature the talented Judith Sterling and the excerpt from Soul of the Wolf.
A Norman loyalist, Lady Jocelyn bristles when ordered to marry Wulfstan, a Saxon sorcerer. She nurses a painful secret and would rather bathe in a cesspit than be pawed by such a man…until her lifelong dream of motherhood rears its head.
A man of magic and mystery, Wulfstan has no time for wedded bliss. He fears that consummating their marriage will bind their souls and wrench his focus from the ancient riddle his dying mother begged him to solve. He’s a lone wolf, salving old wounds with endless work. But Jocelyn stirs him as no woman ever has.
Their attraction is undeniable. Their fates are intertwined. Together, they must face their demons and bring light to a troubled land.
Continuing along with the excerpt –
He fought a grin. “Fear not. You’ve only one more trip on horseback, tomorrow. We’ll leave for Nihtscua immediately following the wedding feast.”
“How far must we ride?”
“Not twenty miles.”
“Lovely,” she said without enthusiasm.
A sudden gust of wind roused the forest. The trees quivered and sighed beneath the purple sky.
“The rain is near,” he said. “Shall we return to the keep?”
