when I found that there is a second "wyndham story" I was amazed, because I thought the blaze wyndham story is very touching and one of the really good books of bertrice small. so I was not surprized to find a fine story here, too. but even if I have to spoil, it is not an usual love story ( may be usual for bertrice small in her best circumstances, but sadly not for these genre ) it is abouth nyssa, blazes daughter and how she has to learn to love the husband who abducted her...( you have to read this yourself) but so far - so usual for a lovebook. a great part is abouth live on the court of henry VIII, the joy, the intrigues,the traps, the danger to become beheaded f.e. and all the politics behind. it is overwhelming rich in historcal detail and the description of the actors, like henry VIII or anna of cleve, to pick just two examples are exquisite. bertrice small makes them alive almost. the last part is about the sad and tragic love story between the old king and young catherina howard, up to its tragical end. it crossed my mind that the producers of the tv-series the tudors( with jonathan rhys meyers as henry VIII) must have read this book. its obviously...bertrice small has delivered here with this book surely one of her best pieces. she definitly should stay with the english history and only there! and to my very relief- no hareme in it at all. thanks the lord. more stuff like this would be apreciated!Read full review
I have never come across a Bertrice Small book I didn't absolutely love. This one is no different. If you are looking for a book with a great story line, hot sex, and wonderful characters, her books are for you. She is able to mix up the stories so they are not what you would expect and they still have satisfying endings. Love, love, love her books! She is my favorite author.
This is the sequel to Blaze Wyndham, and it is somehow even better than the first book. Bertrice Small writes passionate, intelligent women who actually go through life gaining experience and happiness along the way. She wrote some of the best historical romances ever, and Nyssa's story is well worth the read.

I bought this book because I am trying to collect all of Bertrice Smalls books. I love all of her books. This is a story about Blaze's daughter and the later years of Henry VIII's court. Great read!!!!
