Reader Review: 1st installment of the 'Brotherhood of the Sword' series. Better if read after the 'where is my hero?' anthology (Simon's story) to understand some of the references made by KMG. Story: Stryder is a knight with a haunting past: his childhood makes him despise courtly love and minstrels and his imprisonment in Outremer has left him with a mission. This mission fills his life until he meets the beautiful Rowena, a minstrel who hates warfare or violence and sings against it. Classical opposites attract story with strong characters (alpha male knight / "peace activist" if I may use this anachronism), this book lacks the intensity of previous stories such as 'Master of Desire' or 'Born in Sin'. KMG still manages to craft a sweet love story (lots of tender or moving moments) mixed with a suspense plot that sustains the serie but weakens the romance. Definitely not KMG's best but a good book nonetheless.
Fearless men, their allegiance is to one another, to the oppressed, and to the secret society known as the Brotherhood of the Sword—and they must never surrender to the passionate yearnings of their noble hearts.
A Lady of Love
Beautiful, peace-loving Rowena knows that Stryder of Blackmoor is a warrior, and is therefore a man to be shunned.
But something burns in the eyes of this powerful knight that she has never seen in others of his kind: a tenderness, and a need to love and be loved. Yet to enter his world would be madness—against every principle by which she has lived her life—so she must resist the yearning that would draw her into his arms.
A Man of War
Duty bound to battle for right, Stryder has never desired the comforts of home and hearth—until he gazed upon the exquisite face and form of the incomparable Rowena. He dares not succumb to her sensuous charms, for Stryder is a man sworn to know no love. But when treachery and danger threaten, the noble knight must stand as the unsuspecting lady's champion—though his actions could cost him his honor, his heart. . . and his forbidden dream of happiness.

Dark Champion, A
Come and sit with me a moment, friend and pilgrim, for I have a tale to tell that many of you have never heard before.
It is one of honor and friendship. One of bravery and nobility. One of strength and loyalty. It is a tale of boys who became men, not because they aged in years, but because they walked through the very fires of hell, arm in arm, back to back, defiant and bold with only one code of honor between them.
We all survive.
We all go home.
We are brothers unto the end.
It is said that the strongest steel is forged by Satan's fires. I have witnessed this myself. For I was once one of their number. Captured in a land known by many as Outremer or the Holy Land, and held as hostage by my enemies, it was there that I found these amazing men.
There were fifty of them in my cell. Cramped and cold, tired, beaten, and worn. But not defeated. Nay, these men could never be defeated.
Not by anything born of this earth.
Though I knew them for young men, and in some cases mere boys, they looked as haggard as any old beggar. Their faces were lined by horror and starvation, their clothes tattered and shredded, their bodies scarred and bleeding from old wounds and new. Still, they fought on with a strength of will that amazes me unto this day.
Out of fifty, five of them emerged as our leaders: the Wraith, who moved with stealth and secrecy while he ran interference with our guards; the Scot, who sacrificed himself for others so that they would not be punished; the Widowmaker, who watched over us and planned our escape; the Sorcerer, who was able to distract and steal whatever we needed; and the Abbot, whose s

Reviewer: A reader from Teford, Shropshire GB
I really recommend reading this book, i ordered it on the slight chance it would be a good read, i was not wrong. It is a great feel good romance, with hot characters, and a plot to keep you guessing.
