The Wolfe of Badenoch: A Historical Romance of the Fourteenth Century

The late fourteenth century: a time when Scotland's knights rode south to fight for France, and love was as dangerous as any battlefield. Sir Patrick Hepborne returns from years of service with the French army to find his homeland embroiled in its own turmoil. The Wolfe of Badenoch, a name whispered with fear across the Highlands, has set the moors ablaze, and the old order trembles. Courtly intrigue and clan warfare collide as our knight navigates a world where allegiances shift like autumn wind. Chivalry promises much but delivers only what one's sword can defend. Through tournaments, political machinations, and forbidden attachments, Lauder weaves a tale where honor and desire intertwine. Every whispered vow carries the weight of clans and crowns. For readers who crave historical romance's grand sweep, the clatter of armor, the thrill of the chase, the ache of impossible love, this early 19th-century novel captures an era when being a knight meant being both protector and predator, and when the heart's battle proved harder than any fought with lance and steel.
