ABOUT
SILVERSWORD:
266 A.D. – Chadwick “Chad” de Lohr, son of Daniel de
Lohr (SHADOWMOOR) is a hero at the Battle of Evesham. Saving the hostage Henry
III from Simon de Montfort, he is riding high on a wave of royal praise at the
conclusion of the battle. But that favor with the king is short-lived.
Henry, once again in power after the death of de
Montfort, is determined to rid his country of the de Montfort-supporting rebels
once and for all. This includes a campaign of harassment against the nobles who
supported de Montfort through the years, namely, the House of de Shera (THE
LORDS OF THUNDER TRILOGY). The House of the de Lohr and the House of de Shera
are linked by blood, and when Henry orders that a de Shera heiress be removed
from Newington Priory and placed in Henry’s custody as a hostage to ensure the
House of de Shera’s behavior, Chad races to Newington to remove his distant
cousin from the abbey before Henry can take her hostage.
Chad’s noble act to save Alessandria de Shera is the
first step in a chain of events that sees the House of de Lohr increasingly
turned against the king. He is determined to take Alessandria back to Isenhall
Castle where she can be protected by her warlord cousins, the LORDS OF THUNDER.
It’s a race through England as Chad and Alessandria stay one step ahead of
Henry’s men in their pursuit to capture her. Aided by Davyss de Winter
(LESPADA) and Bose de Moray (THE GORGON), the journey of Chad and Alessandria
takes them through life, death, great hardship, fear, and finally passion
beyond what they could have ever imagined.
It’s an eventual showdown between Henry, the LORDS
OF THUNDER, and the House of de Lohr once Chad and Alessandria are cornered.
Will Henry finally claim Alessandria? Or will Chad ultimately defeat the man he
once saved?

EXCERPT:
But his impatience didn’t last long. His mother, his
sister, and Alessandria suddenly emerged from the knight quarters with de Russe
and de Velt behind them, and Chad felt a sense of relief at the sight of her.
That, and a distinct sense of pleasure; she was wearing a traveling outfit of
dark green wool, durable and well made, clinging to a figure he didn’t know she
had. Though petite, she had a narrow waist and flaring hips, quite alluring and
shapely. In fact, he was rather shocked to realize she not only had an
exquisite face but a body to match. Through the wet wool and darkness of their
travels, he’d never had the chance to notice.
But he wasn’t the only one who noticed; his brothers
as well as his cousins were riveted to the lady, seeing an enchantress emerge
into their midst. The dark auburn hair was braided, draping over one shoulder,
and she had a kerchief wrapped around her head, tucked behind her ears and tied
at the nape of her neck to keep her hair from blowing about or becoming unruly.
Veronica was trying to fix the billowing cloak, a cloak that was streaming
behind Alessandria like a banner and allowing every man there a view of that
marvelous figure.
The goddess was revealed.
