MEDIEVAL MONDAY Ashley York's DAUGHTER OF THE OVERKING

Welcome back to Medieval Monday, the Villains edition. This week I'm featuring a snippet from Ashley York's wonderful Irish romance, DAUGHTER OF THE OVERKING.


A mistaken identity. A gruesome murder.

Trained as a warrior... Brighit of Clonascra despises the trappings and demands of womanhood and is far more comfortable training for battle. Long held alliances require she set aside selfish dreams and take Darragh as her husband. The union intended to promote peace between the clans is interrupted by the shocking murder of a neighboring king and she quickly discovers there are far worse things than being wed.

Trained to be king... Darragh of Drogheda has no wish to be king, but he is an obedient son and supports his father's plans. His marriage to Brighit, however, will be no hardship at all since he finds her most intriguing when she fights him at every turn. A she-warrior indeed. Her persistent dismissal of him merely blows the fire aflame and sets him down the path to discovery of all her most tightly held secrets—secrets that could cost him his life.

     Tadhg stepped toward the men, his hand outstretched to their leader. “Seigine. Ye’re late to the festivities.”
     They’d been invited. The tension in the room lightened a bit. All the neighboring tribes were called to a celebration unless they were enemies. The more important the person being wed, the more neighbors invited.
     And yet…the newcomer’s dark eyes assessed Tadhg with what appeared to be disdain.

  2. Wow I can't remember reading a story about Irish people. Most of the Medieval romances I read are all about England or Scotland. This really sounds intriguing, and I love the cover. Great art!
