The central character to this melodrama is meek, bookish, very happily married Grace St. I was far more interested in concentrating on the history of the Knights Templar, the Church and various possible interpretations of the words or “actions” of God, and medieval politics, not to mention rampant intrigue and bitter betrayal. I’m not even sure it’s a time-travel, because that element doesn’t appear until late in the story either, and when it does, it’s approached with such plausible logic that it seems more a how-to-do-it rather than a can-it-be-done.Īnd, although labeled a contemporary, the historical information is so fascinating, I almost forgot about the hero, the heroine, and the plot. But, if I were to think of it as a romance, I would have to say it has two heroes. I wouldn’t call it a romance in the purest sense, because the hero and heroine don’t even meet face-to-face until page 281. There are so many elements to this book, it’s difficult to pinpoint exactly what type of story it really is. It’s certainly unlike anything I’m used to reading by Linda Howard, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Son Of The Morning is an interesting story to think about.
