Phoenix from the Flame: Historical Romance

By Alan Huckerby

Bethelda, a young maiden, is badly burnt from an accidental but devastating fire at her father's bakery where she is the only survivor. Though badly injured, she stands up and squarely faces the traumas of life in early 12th Century England during the time of the civil war between King Stephen and Matilda, Empress Maud. At the moment of family tragedy she meets the one man in the whole kingdom that will standby her despite her facial burns and lowly upbringing. Adrian, as a young man, saves Bethelda from that devastating fire and his feelings for her grow from admiration of her strength of character to a deep and undivided love. Over the ensuing years of turmoil brought about by the interminable squabbling between Stephen and Matilda, Bethelda and Adrian stand tall against greedy neighboring barons in both England and in Normandy.
