The Kindling

Age of Faith, Book 4

By: Tamara Leigh

Narrated by: Mary Sarah Agliotta

The Unveiling, The Yielding, and The Redeeming introduced listeners to the formidable Wulfrith family during Duke Henry's battle for the English throne and his succession. The Kindling, the fourth book in the Age of Faith series, is the story of Sir Abel, the youngest and, perhaps, most dangerous of the Wulfrith brothers.

"'Tis said family creates a multitude of sins."

Helene of Tippet is not her father or her brother's keeper. Yet when she is enlisted to use her healing skills to aid a fallen knight, the secret she holds close threatens to visit her family's sins upon her. Now she is in danger of loving where she should not - a man of the nobility, and one who has cause to despise her if ever he learns of the blood that courses through her veins. Dare she reveal herself? Dare she trust a warrior so bitter and intent on revenge? Dare she love?

Sir Abel Wulfrith, a man bred to battle, has the scar to prove one should never trust a woman. But when he is wounded by his family's enemy, he finds himself at the mercy of one who could prove his undoing. Now he faces a battle against which no strategy can prevail, no blade can defend, no heart can escape unscathed. Can he forgive Helene the sins of the father - more, the sins of the brother? Can he reclaim his faith? Can he love?

Wow, just Wow!!! Story in a story in a story

Helene & Abel’s story is shared with many other’s. Abel’s growth both physically and mentally to which he owes Helene. Sir Durand & his growth due to change from playboy to man because of Helene. We get to see a village with a man so desirous to wed a woman, and when she refuses points his finger at her & names her a witch. For which death is the only way to define one’s guilt or innocence from such a charge. The village chasing her down. The new & improved Sir Duran & Sir Abel coming to her rescue. The story of a couple in that village, one with enough wits to see clearly and help the witch with her child. the other with the wits to know what’s going to happen to the two of them from associating with the witch, and wants to kill Helene over it. And little John (no relation to Robin Hood) who sees as all children see, the best!

Another good installment, slightly simpler but enjoyable

There weren’t quite as many great battles as the other in the series. But it was still enjoyable and clean easy read. Performance on the audiobook was nice as usual.

High quality in all areas

An Unselfish Great Passionate Love Story
In a context of conflict never ceasing to hold ones breath.
I do recommend!

exceptional story

this was a wonderful story, I enjoyed it so much. so exited to read the next one in the series

Enthralling!

This book from the original "Age of Faith" series is not to be missed. It is one of my favorites and is listened to often, due to my affection for this imaginary family called the Wulfriths. I'm an avid fan of medieval romance, and no one does it better, than Tamara Leigh. The story is clean, exciting, chilling in parts, suspenseful and endearing. It has everything a person could want in a story about the days of oaths, swords, castles and knights. Well deserving of a credit or other payment source.
