1648. Orphaned heiress Lady Katherine Ferrers is forced into marriage for the sake of family honour... But with Cromwell's army bringing England to its knees, her fortune is the real prize her husband desires. As her marriage becomes a prison and her privileged world crumbles, Katherine meets her match in Rafe - a lover who will lead her into a dangerous new way of life where the threat of death lurks at every turn...
Enter Kate Ferrers, highwaywoman, the Wicked Lady of legend - brought gloriously to life in this tale of infatuation, betrayal and survival.
I requested a copy of this book from bookbridgr - it seemed slightly different to what i would usually read and I figured i'd branch out. It's seemed every historic and I would usually struggle with these types of books. However I really enjoyed this one.
Lady Katherine who grew up in a world of privilge is to be wed to Thomas. A youngman whom she has not seen since she was a child. If only to ensure her place in the world and keep what is rightly hers. However when war starts out, althought married it is anything but a privilged life Kate leads. Along with her trusted maidservent Rachel, they learn to live in a world far from that she grew up in. With a husband who is constantly away and whom is only interested in getting a heir, Kate learns to live with the little she has. Until things change...
Rafe who is Rachels' brother teaches Kate some ways of the world, ways to obtain what is not yours to help you survive. They made a fantastic pair and I was so routing for them throughout.
The book is too sad, it has moments where friendships are tested and lives lost. It tests the faithfullness of servents and familes. I enjoyed it as although at first Kate could be very demanding to the point of being a spoilt child, she grew up, found herself and decided her own path, her own future, which was pretty much forbiden then.
An enchanting tale.
