Publisher's summary

After the death of her cruel father, Brithwin is determined never again to live under the harsh rule of any man. Independent and resourceful, she longs to be left alone to manage her father's estate. But she soon discovers a woman has few choices when the king decrees she is to marry Royce, the Lord of Rosencraig. As if the unwelcome marriage isn't enough, her new husband accuses her of murdering his family, and she is faced with a challenge of either proving her innocence or facing possible execution.

Royce Warwick returns home after setting down a rebellion to find his family brutally murdered. When all fingers point to his betrothed and attempts are made on his life, Royce must wade through murky waters to uncover the truth. Yet Brithwin's wise and kind nature begins to break down the walls of his heart, and he soon finds himself in a race to discover who is behind the evil plot before Brithwin is the next victim.

I was so wrapped up in this one

I enjoyed the audio version of this book!

I was running out of Audiobooks and discovered this one! I don't usually read or listen to medieval genres! I decided for the price I was willing to try it! I was quickly involved and pulled into the story! I haven't been able to concentrate on reading another book (I often read several at once), because I was so wrapped up in this one and needed to know how it would turn out! Wonderful clean romance! I highly recommend it!

Sword Of Forgiveness Historical and Inspirational

What made the experience of listening to Sword of Forgiveness the most enjoyable?

The wonderful narration of Anne Flosnik, her ability to give life to each character is always amazing

Any additional comments?

Brithwin and Royce, two honorable people forced to marry by the King, lies, mistrust and outside forces threatens them both. Brithwin's faith helps her survive and finally gives Royce back his faith. Looking forward to more of Debbie Lynn Costello books with the narration by Anne Flosnik of course!

Twists and Turns!

Where does Sword of Forgiveness rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Pretty high up in the rankings of the books I've listened to. I will probably listen again to it someday.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Brithwin was my favorite. She was strong, even after all she had endured. She also had much more to endure throughout the story.

Have you listened to any of Anne Flosnik’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I don't believe that I've listened to this narrator before. At first, I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy the narration of this novel. However, after about a chapter, I decided that I really enjoyed this narrator. She did a great job with the voices and was a very enthusiastic narrator.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Once I reached the halfway point in the book, it was very hard to set it down.

Any additional comments?

I really enjoyed this story and hope that another book in the series will be released soon.

Thank You!!

Finally, a book with more twists and turns, I couldn’t wait for the ending. I then dreaded it, so good!!! I am glad to read about his… no no spoilers for the next book in the series.

I didn’t think I was as religious as I am now. Thank You!!

Great romance, great mystery!

Folks, I've read Lisa Kleypas, Mary Balogh, Alexandra Potter... and let me tell you, lady Debbie is right on par with these artists of romance!

In this story, a younger son of an estate is ordered by the king to marry the heiress of a neighboring one. After some traumatic news, he's suspicious of many people... including her. She has her own deal of problems and a past full of hurt, but maybe with the help of faith in God and loyal servants, they can find peace, solve a murder... and maybe even find love!

Though both the main characters are quite likeable, my nod goes to wonderfully drawn supporting cast of servants, maids and friends of our hero and heroine. They make this story truly rich.

Give this book a read, or a listen. You're going to love the plot twists, they are very nicely set up. The author gave me hints all along, and only in the end did I find out that... Well. Find on your own!

Narrator ruins the story

I Made myself finish. It could have been a good story if not for the narration.

How to Marry Your Enemy!

For avid listeners like me, the mark of a good book is a sleepless night, because you just don't want to hit that pause button! This book is one of those.

Brithwin is an honorable woman forced to marry an honorable man Royce, it's just a shame that through an unfortunate set of circumstances, neither one knows the other is honorable!

Amazingly through a series of misadventures, usually caused by Brithwin's innate sense to always do the noble thing, they learn to trust and put their lives on line for each other! Thank goodness Brithwin has her faith in God and eventually Royce to see her through!

This is the first book, in what I hope will become a series, available on Audible by Debbie Lynn Costello and to have Anne Flosnik narrate this historic English novel, what a coup! It doesn't get any better than that.

Buy or credit you won't be disappointed.
