About this listen
Left a bequest by a woman with rare psychic powers, Eada of Pevensey suddenly finds herself in possession of a box containing a mysterious document...and something even more extraordinary: the gift of second sight. Now she can actually "see" her chilling fate: a Norman invader with sea-dark eyes riding across the fields to claim her lands...and her love.
A reluctant soldier for William the Conquerer, Drogo de Toulon seizes the Pevensey lands as a right of conquest...and meets a woman who defies him at every turn - and arouses uncontrollable desire. Yet now, as war rages across a divided England, the two lovers must find the bond that joins body and soul...as they chart a course through battle and betrayal that could break their hearts - or seal their passion for all time.
Contains mature themes.

It's incredible that all 80s & 90s that I've come acroos all seem to have very strong noncey themes, are outright rapey or even just very iffy consent issues!
Not a spoiler as it's explained in the first 5mn of the book... the heroine is a teenager, naturally... she's 18, a widow, has already observed her year of mourning... but, fear not she's a virgin, because of course she'd need to be! Heaven forbid if she were experienced 🙄
Most of the Norman invaders, including her captor calls her a child... the hero calls her a child AFTER they've had sex... nonce alert!!!!! Yet, the author saw absolutely nothing wrong with that?!?
Not only that, but she says no THREE times & it's treated as foreplay & brushed aside by the hero... say what now?!
It seems like it was gonna be a good story, but it's not only noncey, it's rapey to boot!
