Publisher's Summary:
Laura Kinsale Presents a second novel by talented new author Elizabeth Kingston. FAIR, BRIGHT, AND TERRIBLE is the riveting companion to THE KING'S MAN.
Wales is conquered, and Eluned has lost everything: her country, her husband, her hope. All that remains is vengeance, and she will stop at nothing to have it.
When Robert de Lascaux is asked to marry the woman he has loved for eighteen years, he never hesitates. No wealth has ever mattered to him as much as Eluned has. But she, it seems, does not want him at all. Trapped in a web of intrigue, revenge, and desire, they cannot forget their past - but can they dare to share a future?
The title of this book tells you everything. Were accustomed to loving heroines and dark heroes, and while theres nothing wrong with that, the power of Elizabeth Kingstons tortured and ferocious heroine Eluned creates one of the most unforgettable stories of love youll ever experience. Of course it's narrated by Nicholas Boulton. Like many of you, I've been waiting a long time to hear him read new works by fresh new authors, and we're making it happen. Enjoy! Be sure to let us know what you think of Nicks performance! (Laura Kinsale, author of FLOWERS FROM THE STORM).
Critic Reviews:
"Part history lesson, part romance and wholly engrossing, this book is fair, bright and wonderful. I loved it, hated it and in the end, I can't recommend it highly enough. Readers new to Ms. Kingston - clear your book queues and get ready to immerse yourself in her medieval world. You won't regret it." -
All About Romance (Desert Isle Keeper Review)
"Elizabeth Kingston writes historical romances that make me fall in love with the genre all over again.
Fair, Bright, and Terrible is a ravishing, vividly rendered journey through medieval Britain - and a truly epic romance. Kingston's luminous prose draws us back in time and holds us in breathless suspense as we ache, cheer, and sigh for two extraordinary characters destined for each other." - Meredith Duran, bestselling author of

Members Reviews:
Laura Kinsale recomends this book. 'Nuf said!
What made the experience of listening to Fair, Bright, and Terrible the most enjoyable?
Besides the prose, it was the narration of Nicholas B. that made this story swoon worthy!
Who was your favorite character and why?
This one's hard, but I'd say that the heroine made this story for me worth the read. Eluned imbued humanity that is all of us. The layers to her character made this woman very relatable.
Which scene was your favorite?
Eluned's realization that her revenge wasn't worth loosing her love of Robert.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I had tears in my eyes as Robert notices that the birthmark on her neck is not on the side that he remembers it being. This small, seemingly insignificant fact has a profound affect on him.
Any additional comments?
I loved the first book in this series and was on pins and needles waiting for this story. I have to say that I had my doubts about the authors ability to make me like let alone love the character I so thoroughly disliked in the previous story. Let me say that I was stunned at authors ability of expanding and developing such a rich and deeply flawed, yet likable heroine. Eluned imbued humanity that is all of us.
