Afton of Margate Castle (The Knights' Chronicles)

Beautiful, headstrong Afton is taken from her parents at an early age and raised in the castle, a companion to the earl s daughter. Schooled in the ways of kings and surrounded by splendor, Afton falls in love with the earl s son, brave, Calhoun, her childhood protector. But Calhoun s mother, the Lady Endeline, has much different plans for him than marriage to a villein s daughter. Suddenly Afton s world is torn viciously apart. She is cast out of the castle, given to a man she fears and despises as a reward for his loyalty an all too clear reminder that, for all her dreams, she is nothing but a villein. Now all she has left is a burning desire for vengeance . . . What people have said about Afton of Margate Castle: Forgiveness and reconciliation are strong words as is the word reality. All three are here in Angie Hunt s Afton of Margate Castle. I recommend it to you. Eugenia Price A great story demonstrating the universality of human nature, which is the foundation for the relevance of all history. Afton s search for her own identity within a traditional cultural context is as contemporary as tomorrow s newspaper. Thomas O. Kay, Chairman of the History Department, Wheaton College
