Beautiful snare

the long version

In Celtic Britain circa 80 AD, a village has been destroyed, and the lady Rebekah and her yeoman Ywain return to find only four survivors. They travel north in hopes of raising an army to fight the invaders who are led by the mysterious dark stranger, Doyle. With her mare, falcon, and hunting hound by her side, Bekah rides into battle guided by the Goddess's divine visions, mentored by a powerful witch, Rowena. But Bekah must also contend with overpowering emotion and an unforgivable attraction to her worst enemy. As violence rages and the death count rises, Bekah must make the ultimate choice to save the people who mean the most to her. Told from the dual perspectives of Bekah and Ywain, Beautiful Snare weaves the mysteries of love, loyalty, and war into a compelling and timeless tale. -- taken from back cover.
