The heroine is spineless and the hero is incredibly nasty to her for the vast majority of the book. It's truly shocking how badly he treats her and how she just takes it. It's a testament to how good the other two books are that I even got to the final page of this book. The only reason to read this book is to understand the plot points for the third book. ( )Clever and interesting historical fiction. The second in Lowell's trilogy set in the Disputed Lands (I'm guessing somewhere between northern England and Scotland) during the time of the Crusades. This novel follows the meeting of Amber the Untouched and Duncan the Hammer. Neither is what they seem and both are bound by ties that go deep. Their relationship is sometimes painful and heart-breaking to follow, but if you enjoy Lowell you'll love this one. I read this along time ago but when it came time to reread, it didn't stand up so well. Trite, silly, unbelievable. Not especially intense or romantic. I love medieval romances. This is not one of the better ones. It says 2003 but I read long ago, so it's a reprint of sorts no reviews | add a review

| Book description |
|
They call her "Amber the Untouched" throughout the Disputed Lands -- a chaste, golden-haired beauty who fears the remarkable love that was prophesied at her birth . . . and the death that must inevitably follow. Now Duncan has come to her in darkness, as was foretold -- a wounded warrior with no memory, seared by passion's fire and irresistibly drawn to the innocent enchantress who divines truth with a touch. Their romance is legend in a time of war. But when Duncan's memory returns, he sees Amber as his enemy. Still, he cannot forsake the lover who healed his body and heart. And he will defy to the death the dread forces that have proclaimed their love . . .
