WARNING: Lord Greyton’s Fall from Grace is a companion novella to Lords of Honor, Book 2 in the Lords of Avalon series. The author recommends you read Lord Greyton’s Fall from Grace either before or after Lords of Honor, as it is a companion novella, and the back-story of Owen and Grace, who are introduced in Lords of Honor. Lords of Honor is where Owen and Grace’s Happily Ever After ending occurs. There is no Happily Ever After ending in Lord Greyton’s Fall from Grace, as it was written after Lords of Honor was released when readers requested the back-story of Owen and Grace, who are featured in Lord Greyton. The novella also touches on Marrek and Catherine’s (of Lords of Retribution and the upcoming Lords of Atonement) first meeting, and is where Jack and Tuesday (Lords of Retribution) first become attracted to one another. There are also appearances from some of the major Lords of Avalon characters, four years before the events in the Lords of Avalon series occur. Unfortunately, since Lord Greyton was written after Lords of Honor, there was no way their back-story could end happily. Again, their Happily Ever After is in Lords of Honor.
Grace Brackenridge returns from London a year after her father sent her to find a husband. No man in London compares to the man of her dreams, Owen Darrington, Viscount Greyton, in Hartland, Devon. Grace returns to Hartland still unmarried but determined to marry Owen.
Owen realizes how attracted to Grace he truly is during her long absence. When she returns to Hartland unmarried, he pursues her with the intention of marrying her. He is leaving in two weeks time to work on an archaeological excavation in Italy on behalf of the Avalon Society. He will be gone for three months. He decides he must win her heart quickly to ensure she will wait for him while he is away.
Grace’s father, Squire Brackenridge has other ideas. He prefers his daughter marry another. Knowing Grace is intelligent and willful, he sets his own plan in motion to make certain things will not work out the way Owen and Grace want them to. Is Owen and Grace’s love strong enough to survive the trickery and deceit that threatens to tear them apart forever?
The Lords of Avalon companion Novella is the story of Owen and Grace’s relationship four years before the Lords of Avalon Series begins. Lord of the Abbey, Lords of Honor, and Lords of Retribution are on Amazon Kindle. The final book in the Lords of Avalon series, Lords of Atonement, will be released in summer 2014. Book 1 of a second series featuring some of the unmarried members of the Avalon Society as they pursue a new quest, the Secrets of the Shroud series, will be released in late 2014, early 2015. Look for Book 1 of the new series, the Darkes of Penzance, in 2014. The Cornish Rakes is another upcoming series.
