Publisher Description
When Garron of Kersey returns home from the king’s service to claim his title as Baron Wareham, he’s shocked to find Wareham Castle very nearly destroyed by a man called the Black Demon. According to the last starving servants inside the castle walls, the Black Demon was looking for silver belonging to Garron’s brother Arthur. Among his remaining servants is the enigmatic Merry, the bastard child of the castle’s priest. Garron quickly suspects that she is much more than a servant: She reads and writes and makes lists, just as he does. They work together to bring Wareham back to its former splendor. But this is only the beginning. Did Arthur have a cache of silver? Who is the Black Demon? And the biggest question of all: Who is Merry?

The Valcourt Heiress Listener Reviews
-
" Horrible reader, even Bea commented on how bad the voice was. "
— Deborah, 2/16/2014 -
" Words can not describe how disappointed I was by this book. I'm usually a big fan of Catherine Coulter's work, bother her historical & contemporary books. However, this story was long, slow & boring. I liked the heroine, but didn't care for the hero. Even when writing a historical book, the author must remember the readers have modern sensibilities. I can't like a hero who voluntarily engages in torture. In the last 150 pages of the book the story suddenly changed from a historical romance to a fantasy. The storyline moved into the unbelieveable. I just couldn't buy into it. I also found the romance in the story to be a minor point, with almost no emotion at all. Hope the next book is better. "
— Kimberly, 2/14/2014 -
" Not what I thought it would be. I was expecting a little more history. It wasn't bad, quick easy read. "
— Stephanie, 2/3/2014 -
" Got through it but didn't like it much. I don't think I'm into the medieval romance novels. "
— Lori, 2/2/2014 -
" Despite negative reviews I really enjoyed reading this book it was interesting and a delightfully easy read. I enjoyed books from this era though. "
— Joan, 1/28/2014 -
" I am only giving this 2 stars although I am actually a big fan of Catherine Coulter's. Really bad writing at work here and th plot was the most simplistic ever. All that said it still was somewhat satisfying to read because I haven't seen anything new from her in a while except for the thrillers, which I am not interested in at all. "
— Mercedes, 1/23/2014 -
" I dearly loved this book....it is really good. I could not hardly put it down. "
— Linda, 1/20/2014 -
" This was fine -- a typical medieval romance. Not as good as the FBI series. "
— Barbara, 1/13/2014 -
" I really had to push myself to finish this book. It is not one of her bests. "
— Kathi, 1/4/2014 -
" Fun read. Good girl gets good guy, mixed with some witchcraft. "
— Faye, 1/2/2014 -
" This story of a medieval Lord and Lady is not up to Catherine Coulter's usual standards of writing. "
— Chris, 12/3/2013 -
" A bit of a drag for me "
— Kerry, 11/23/2013 -
" Not one of her better novels. A little formulaic and parts strained belief. A good, quick, read for the beach maybe. Especially if you got it for free. "
— Allison, 6/10/2013 -
" Couldn't get into this book, never finished it. "
— Donna, 1/27/2013 -
" This book was... eh. Started out ok, then fizzled at the end. Wasn't even great by romance book standards, in my opinion. "
— Laura, 1/4/2013 -
" Would give it 1.5 stars. Silly really. "
— Robin, 11/29/2012 -
" it is silly and has a plot, an easy read. But the characters lack depth and believability. "
— Lewi, 11/14/2012 -
" ok book, very grafic sex in some places. "
— Emily, 9/28/2012 -
" I think I have read every one of her books - for some reason I just really like this author!! "
— Natalie, 3/30/2012 -
" I liked this book, it was cute. I think the "Witch" was dragged a little to long. I skimmed the last half of the book. "
— Sheilad37, 11/9/2011 -
" Eh. Never finished it and didn't wonder what happened. "
— Tatrd, 6/27/2011 -
" This was ok. A good Sunday afternoon read and I actually didn't guess the ending which I guess is a pretty good feat. "
— Alyssa, 5/23/2011 -
" I've read much better Catherine Coulter books and this one didn't stand out at all. "
— Larissa, 5/2/2011 -
" So, never having read a Catherine Coulter book I felt it was my duty as a good librarian to at least try some popular fiction writers, and see what they offer. This was a disappointment--cliches, formulaic, predictable. "
— Joann, 4/21/2011 -
" I didn't realize this was part of a series. I enjoyed the book and was engaged throughout the book. I will definitely have to check out what other books were written. "
— Michelle, 4/6/2011 -
" A fun, frivolous last spring break read. "
— Bridget, 4/4/2011
