I have been waiting a long time for another Madaris book and especially one about Sir Drake as he has been prominently written about in several of Brenda Jackson's books. As expected it was an excellently written book. It was great how she revisited with many of the characters written in her other books. You really feel as if you know these people and that they are not just characters on paper. Brenda Jackson writes with her soul and her heart and it is evidenced in all her books. I read this book over two days and was disappointed when I was done. I wished the story could have gone on longer but alas I must wait for the next Brenda Jackson book which according to the end of the book will be the Christy Madaris story... I can hardly wait.
