Publisher's summary

Shortlisted for the RNA Historical Romantic Novel Award

The long-awaited prequel to Elizabeth Chadwick's bestselling and beloved first novel The Wild Hunt

The Welsh Borders, 1069

When Ashdyke Manor is attacked, Lady Christen is forced to witness her husband's murder and the pillaging of her lands at the hands of brutal Norman invaders.

It seems the pain is finally over when Miles Le Gallois, Lord of Milnham-on-Wye, calls off the attack. But he has Christen's brother under armed guard and a deal to offer: her brother's freedom for her hand in marriage. Christen finds herself hastily married into the enemy side, with her brother swearing his vengeance on her new husband.

Miles and Christen's precarious union invites enemies from all sides and when Miles is summoned for a lengthy campaign by the King, Christen is left to watch his lands. In the midst of war, two enemies must somehow learn to trust one another if they are to survive . . .

Chadwick does it again!

I have been reading historical novels for nearly 70 years. I have read many books by exceptional authors whose stories were set in medieval England. Elizabeth Chadwick stands out as one of the finest authors of this genre. Her books are historically accurate, giving the reader the feeling of actually being there but she does not bore you with dates. Both the female and male protagonists are endowed with both strengths and weaknesses. The richness of emotions that are explored by her characters feel authentic for the time and place. Her stories draw you in quickly, are packed with adventure, trials and tribulations and romance. The relationship between the hero and heroine was realistic, beset with problems that are still salient today and others unique to the time. I highly recommend The Coming of The Wolf. A great read by a brilliant author. Thank You Ms. Chadwick!
