GWENYTH PRAYED FOR DELIVERANCE, but God seemed very far away. She raised a trembling hand to her mouth and winced when her salty finger touched the split in her lip. Aye, God had finally deserted her for good. Last night, amid darkness and terror, someone had assaulted her. The windowless cell shed been dragged to was pitch dark, but the man hadnt needed any light to find and take what he came for.
False witness.
She lifted her gaze to the tall, clean-shaven man who stood on the other side of a table placed between them. Adam Mackintosh. How could it have been him? Even in her current state of confusion, she was certain her assailant wore a full beard, not the day-old stubble on Adams face. See how the sun had kissed his cheeks and chin with color. That was proof, wasnt it?
And why would the gentle man whod seen her safely to her pallet return later and accost her? She shoved the painful memories aside. Somehow, she must see this through.
Her gaze locked with Adams, and she marveled at his arrogant stance. Gone was the kindhearted man of yesternight. He seemed to dare her to go forward with this deceit. He could not know that the lie that would condemn him would deliver Gwenyth from further danger.
The priest, her judge, stared hard at her. "Gwenyth of Buchan, you must identify the man who wronged you."
Another lie, this name shed given. If she revealed her proper name, she might very well leave here in chains. This Leod whod captured her thought her to be a servant, for that was the story she and Daron had concocted to aid their escape. Now their web of deceit threatened to ensnare yet another soul. Was Adam an enemy, or a possible ally?

I would recommend this book to anyone who loves to read and even to those who would rather be watching T.V. I have read hundreds of books and this is without a doubt the best book I've ever read. Buy it. I guarantee it won't be a waste of your money.

The start of a wonderful series.,
By "laurasuetoo" (Brooksville, FL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Circle of Honor (Paperback)
Circle of Honor is a wonderful book set in Scotland during the time of Robert the Bruce.Adam Mackintosh and Gwenyth Comyn are very engaging characters. Gwenyth is the victim of a violent assault and she coerces Adam into marriage in order to escape her tormentor. Adam, wounded in battle because of his own folly, finds himself married to a women who manipulated him and is plotting against his king. Despite these circumstances, they rely on God and each other and find a love strong enough to heal Gwenyth's emotional scars and Adam's physical injuries. The book is a good mix of historical intrigue and romance. Carol Umberger is a very gifted author and I am thrilled to see her write about this time period, as there is not much Christian fiction set in this area. Definitely a worthwhile read!!!
