Love binds them. Duty divides them.
Victory hangs in the balance.

Frankish Empire, 802. Saracen knight Ruggiero is torn between love and honor. Though he vowed to convert and marry the Christian warrior Bradamante, he refuses to back out of his pledged service — even if that means returning to war against the woman he loves. But if he can’t secure a release from his oaths soon, he knows he'll lose her forever…

In deep despair over her lover's choice, Bradamante fears a prophecy that could doom her family. But when she suspects Ruggiero may love another, the formidable fighter puts aside her dread and sets out on a quest for vengeance.

With the lovers on opposite sides of the battle, will Ruggiero gain leave from his duty in time, or will his quest for both his heart and his people cost him his life?

Fate of the Saracen Knight is the thrilling second volume in the Bradamante & Ruggiero historical fantasy series. If you enjoy epic journeys, rich descriptive detail, and forbidden passion, then you’ll love this enthralling tale.
