Amice and the Mercenary By Lindsay Townsend
Amice and the mercenarylords
It was good to read a story of fully rounded characters in a real rendition of medieval London and I think Amice is an ideal novel length or even series leading lady She s no simpering maid beholding to the will of family she s a mature and thinking woman of substance an importer of spices and sugar skilled at creating rare and expensive sweetmeats skills that have not only gained her a shop in her home city of London but acquaintances in the highest echelons of society She s also of African descent and her colouring proves both a boon and a barrier. Book amice and the mercenary summary It is the exploration of discrimination and tolerance through all strata of society that I found so fascinating in this novella Duke Henry in his Savoy Palace on the Thames plays host to and holds hostage the King of France a heavy partaker of almond dragees and anise in confit spiced sweetmeats that the Duke fears can be too easily poisoned by his own or perhaps the King s own staff So sets the scene for double dealing In the French retinue is Sir Gilles of Picardy a name Amice knows from the experience of her brother to be a by word for treachery on the battlefield a man she intends to become close to Instead she is drawn to his paid oath man the turncoat English hedge knight Harry Swynford who has never forgotten nor forgiven his lowly upbringing But are his honeyed words as transient as Amice s honeyed sweetmeats Intrigue and misgivings spar with contempt and duplicity Will mistrust suffocate blossoming love If you enjoy historical romance with a dash of suspense this is for you Kindle Edition
