The Whispering Wind
An emotionally-charged historical adventure romance set in Dark Ages Britain. A monk, a handmaid--and an unbreakable bond.
 
HE IS HER SAVIOR. SHE IS HIS SALVATION.
 
Northumbria, Britain--670 AD 
 
The day Leofric finds a young woman washed up on a windswept shore, his life changes forever.
 
A monk upon the island of Lindisfarena, Leofric is living in exile after shaming his family. The girl he saves is Aelfwyn. Once handmaid to a queen, she is now fleeing from an immoral king.
 
Leofric, an arrogant young warrior forced into a monastic life, isn't used to looking out for anyone but himself. Yet the blonde and beguiling Aelfwyn now depends on him for her survival.
 
Thrown together by circumstance, the pair escape the north together--and so begins an epic adventure. He helps her heal from the wounds of the past, while she gives him a chance at redemption--only, all too soon, the past catches up with them.
