The Du Lac Chronicles

The Du Lac Chronicles, Book #1

by Mary Anne Yarde

Eighteen-year-old Alden du Lac ruled the tiny kingdom of Cerniw. Now he half-hangs from a wooden pole, his back lashed into a mass of bloody welts exposed to the cold of a cruel winter night. He’s to be executed come daybreak—should he survive that long.

When Alden notices the shadowy figure approaching, he assumes death has come to end his pain. Instead, the daughter of his enemy, Cerdic of Wessex, frees and hides him, her motives unclear.

Annis has loved Alden since his ill-fated marriage to her Saxon cousin—a marriage that ended in blood and guilt—and she would give anything to protect him. Annis’ rescue of Alden traps them between a brutal Saxon king and Alden’s remaining allies. Meanwhile, unknown forces are carefully manipulating the ruins of Arthur’s legacy.

Praise for The Du Lac Chronicles:

“If you love historical fiction with dashes of romance, please pick up this book. Fans of Arthurian fiction will love this as well.”

~ N. N. Light, 5* Amazon review

“Mary Anne Yard has a flawless writing style that flows seamlessly as she leads you through the story. If you love kings and castles, sword fights and fearless men, twists and turns, then this is the story for you.”

~ Reader of Romance, 5* Amazon review

“The DuLac Chronicles deftly melds well-researched history, romance, mystery, political machinations, double- and triple-crosses, and intrigue with a healthy serving of desperate flights and fights in a 5th Century version of not-so-merry olde England. Fast-paced, well written, and with characters you can root for all the way through the book, Yarde provides a fascinating twist and examination of the post-Arthurian world—and the notion that Arthur might not have been such a nice guy after all.”
