Glorious Surrender is the perfect historical romance story I have read in a very, very long time. We are privileged to share in the lives of Royce and Bethany; two amazing people. Royce is a knight who has been sent by the king to claim Langeston Castle. Bethany is the daughter of Lord Herschel, who has recently passed away and is responsible for allowing the surrender of the land. Royce is a good man, with good intentions; Bethany is a young girl of fifteen being coached by two evil men in the ways of the world. King Edward III has given his blessings to Royce, who is now responsible for all that happens at the castle. He must wed Bethany immediately to guarantee his holdings. Royce is then forced to fight for his land, learn truths about his family, and slowly fall in love with Bethany. Bethany must quickly learn to become worldly wise, and an adult, and to accept the love of Royce as her husband. To tell you more would ruin your enjoyment of reading Glorious Surrender.
I was caught up in the story from the very first word and was never disappointed. Glorious Surrender is a fantastic historical novel, taking me far back in time to the days of kings, knights, lords and ladies. Nickii Fowler is an exceptional author who brings breath and emotion to each character, and depth to each and every piece of the story. It was impossible not to love Royce and Bethany and feel their pain, fright, joy and happiness on each page. I highly recommend Glorious Surrender as a must-read.
