Parallel lives are fated to collide in The Execution, a medieval thriller, dark adventure, and tragic love story set in fourteenth century France. A young priest enters the prison cell of a condemned mercenary and is shocked to see the face of this murderer is his own-a mirror image of himself. Unknown to each other until now, the twins form a bond of brotherhood, sealed with their darkest secrets. But with only hours until the execution, the priest begins to question which man should truly be condemned. Should it be the ruthless killer-a boy from an orphanage who suffered the unimaginable-or himself, the man of God whose own tormented desires ended in tragedy? As the sun rises, the young priest knows what he must do, but can he make the ultimate sacrifice? Only one man will die...but two men will be free.

Pretty slow start, but this book does suck you in after a while. It suited my mood when I began this book, but then had some trouble getting back into after my first days reading, this may have influenced my review.

I generally found Raven's parts of the story interesting, although Data's parts did improve later. I understand there is a sequel which I will not be looking out for. Worth a read, but not terribly well written. Interesting concept that did not reach its full potential.

It took me a until a while after I'd finished to fully understand the title. The short length makes it a quick read, but it shouldn't be high on your too read list. ( )

I hated this book. It kept me thinking that there was something GREAT going to happen.
Mostly it was 'Yadda Yadda' in my head.
If fact, I hated it so much that to this day, 9 Years Later! I still remember how much I hated it and how much it disappointed me.
Massive UGH!

P.S. NO SEX SCENES but leads you to believe there will be. And NOT Dark. Just a lot of yakking. Talk talk talk ( )

This is a great historical novel with lots of twists and suspense. Two men, one of them a prisoner who is going to hang the next day, meet by chance and go over the events of their lives. Eventful lives they are too! The characters are well drawn and the setting is fabulous, very detailed and interesting. It's hard to write a review and not give anything away. The prisoner spent his life working towards and waiting for the perfect moment to make a vile man pay for the damage he did to the prisoner as a child. He has few friends, but those he has are beyond loyal. The author created great secondary characters that added depth to the story. All in all a good read, if a bit slow moving for me. ( )
