I quite enjoyed this historical fiction romance. I have never read anything in the 1300s and honestly have avoided them because I thought they might be too dull, but this was worth the read.

After an arranged betrothal/marriage for new Župan Konstantine to Suzane, there are multiple attempts on their lives. 

Suzane is untrusting of men because of her father's abuse and a past rape so it takes her a long time to reconcile that her new husband is not like any man she's known. 

They are constantly under threat, even when it seems they finally might have found peace. I'm happy that the side characters took their protection of Suzane seriously.

There are quite a few scenes with fighting among a few men to battles where some great detail is laid out to the reader, but you have to think of the timeframe and why this might be necessary to divulge to the reader.
