Rating: Summary: Wow! A thriller that I couldn't put down! Review: It was kinda hard finding this book because it is out of print but I purchased it and read it; it was definitely well worth the price and the wait. I loved the first two books in the series and I couldn't wait to find out what happens to Helena and Tancred next. Helena Lysander was on her way to her castle of Hohms where Tancred had believed she would be safe with his adoptive father and her mother. But Helena's bodyguard, Bardas, brought news to Tancred that her entourage was overtaken by her enemy Constantine and she never reached the castle. Tancred plans a daring rescue and succeeds...until Philip Lysander has him captured and sold as a slave. Tancred fights despair and anger as he finds out that Helena, his beloved, was sent to his Moslem cousin Prince Kalid to become his wife. With some help he manages to escape his slave owner and confronts Philip. Tancred then sets out for Antioch and the Castle of Hohms where Helena is held prisoner along with her mother by the evil Bishop Constantine. He finds Helena again only to be overtaken by soldiers of Prince Kalid and was almost killed. Helena desperately saves his life but still is faced with her dilemma of marrying the prince. After nursing Tancred back from the brink of death, they plan together their escape from the city as the crusaders under Prince Bohemond close in. There is also the assassin Mosul who framed Tancred for murder and who is the bodyguard of Prince Kalid. Tancred must confront both men over Helena and prove his innocence. A great story and conclusion of the Royal Pavilions. I will read this series again and again! Please make this rating go up!!! I can't wait to see what Linda Chaikin has for us next!
Rating: Summary: pretty picture on cover, very poorly written book Review: The author(?) had a great historical period to work with but her writing skills being nil, the book goes nowhere. Maybe she wrote this book for teenagers(13-14 most)? It never was meant for adults? If you are a historical buff, have decent English, don't buy this book.
Rating: Summary: Romance, Action, And a little History. It's "GREAT" Review: The royal Pavilion was one of Linda Chakins best once you read this you will want to read them all!
