Medieval Monday with Ashley York

                          Medieval Monday

                                     week # 9

Happy Medieval Monday! Today, Ashley York brings us a snippet from her book, Daughter of the Overking.

You'll find this week's excerpt from The Highlander's Crusader Bride on Ashley's blog here: https://www.ashleyyorkauthor.com/blog

Darragh's bride has been whisked away. Waiting and speculating couldn't be more difficult.

Excerpt:

 “They want to be certain she cooperates with the bedding.”
 Darragh glanced toward the heavens. Then he shook his head in   disbelief. “And not a spot of wine or mead to dull her reactions to   me, to her first experience of intimacy with a man? This is going to   be hell.”
  The two men stared at each other, neither one daring to speak   their  morbid thoughts.
  “And how will this play out?” Darragh asked, admittedly afraid to   hear the answer.
  “The ladies will come to the hall and escort ye to her once they’ve   prepared her.”

A mistaken identity. A gruesome murder.
Trained as a warrior...
Brighit of Clonascra despises the trappings and demands of womanhood and is far more comfortable training for battle. Long held alliances require she set aside selfish dreams and take Darragh as her husband. The union intended to promote peace between the clans is interrupted by the shocking murder of a neighboring king and she quickly discovers there are far worse things than being wed.
​
Trained to be king...
Darragh of Drogheda has no wish to be king, but he is an obedient son and supports his father's plans. His marriage to Brighit, however, will be no hardship at all since he finds her most intriguing when she fights him at every turn. A she-warrior indeed. Her persistent dismissal of him merely blows the fire aflame and sets him down the path to discovery of all her most tightly held secrets—secrets that could cost him his life.
