Lord Of The Mist

Description for LORD OF THE MIST by Ann Lawrence:

As he kneels in the darkened chapel by his wife's lifeless body, he knows the babe she has birthed cannot be his. The scent of spring-blossoms, wet leaves, damp earth-precedes the alluring woman into the chapel. As she honors his dead wife with garlands, she seems to bring him fresh hope, just as she nourishes the little girl his wife has left behind. Even though she is not his, can it be wrong to reach out for life, for love? As he watches her nurse the child in the walled courtyard where his wife had met her lovers, he cannot deny his longing for her lush kiss, cannot ignore her urging to turn away from yesterday's sorrows and embrace tomorrow's sweetness.
