Rachael Cicconi, a flutist with the local symphony, is
raising her five-year-old son, Timmy, alone after her verbally abusive
boyfriend, Timmy's father, left them without a word and without support.
Rachael has made some mistakes, but now her only desire is to take care of
Timmy the best that she can. Lately, however, Timmy has been waking from
nightmares about a killer knight. Rachael believes it may be a combination of
his favorite story, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and early memories of his
father's abusive nature that trigger these dreams. Though she would like to
meet someone and give Timmy the father he deserves, she's not sure she can ever
trust again.
Michel of Banesford finds himself in a world he knows nothing about. This
present day is nothing like 1376. But he did what he had vowed to do, he
followed a killer into the future. Sir Ruford, better known as Moonslayer, must
be stopped whatever the cost, and it had cost Michel all that he knew. The only
light in Michel's life now is Rachael, the woman he had protected from a pair
of attackers. After hearing of Timmy's nightmares, Michel is convinced that
Rachael's son holds the key to finding and stopping Ruford. Timmy, Michel
discovers, is a seer. Michel just needs to find what it is that triggers the
boy's dreams—or rather, prophecies. His presence, however, has placed Rachael
and Timmy in danger. Now he must protect his newfound family as the hunter
becomes the hunted
Review:
This gripping tale from Linda Ciletti took my breath away and will take yours too. Michel, the French speaking chivalrous knight is a dreamboat of a hero and little Timmy a seer in the making is a delight too.
The life of single-mum Rachael Cicconi is turned upside down when she is rescued from a mugging by a real Knight. Michel’s quest to stop the murderous Rudford leads him to the twenty-first century and Rachel. His quest is sweetened by his newfound love and family in Rachel and Timmy. This sweetness is threatened not only by his old nemesis but also by Timmy’s father’s reappearance in their life.
In a cliffhanger of a finale, good triumphs evil and Michel keeps his Knight’s vow to return to the fold of his new family for a wonderful happily ever after. A superb tale that shouldn’t be missed. I recommend it whole-heartedly…well done Linda Ciletti. I look forward to other fantasy adventures from this author.
