The storyline and characters are strong and well written. To those who complain about rape scenes, you should not be reading this genre of fiction and judging it by todays standards. Unfortunately, rape was very common during the setting for this book. I adored Rolfe’s and Ceidre’s love story. The epilogue could have been better, but overall this book is definitely a five star! The sequel leaves a bit to be desired (due to the stupidity of their son Stephen’s wife) however, Rolfe and Creidre are still madly in love. A must read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars 4 and 1/2 Stars - Sometimes Rugged and Raw but Always Holds Your Interest *by R***N on Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2012* This is book 1 of the two medieval stories in the de Warenne Dynasty series (The Promise of the Rose is the second)It's 1069 and William I has conquered England and is handing out land to his knights while still fighting the Danes and the Saxon rebels. Rolfe the Relentless claims Castle Aelfgar and weds the Lady Alice, a bitter woman who comes with the land, but the woman he wants is her illegitimate sister, Ceidre, who he would rather have married.Ceidre is a fiery lass, a healer and a loyal Saxon who, in league with her brothers Edwin and Morcar, risks all to restore Aelfgar to her family. She seeks to thwart Rolf at every turn, while being wildly attracted to the Norman. He treats her very badly most of the time but he's still obsessed with her. Having caught her in treason and flogged her till she bled (the usual punishment for a woman), he decides to get rid of her by marrying her to one of his knights. But then he finds he cannot give her up entirely and decides he will first have his pleasure....Joyce serves up a suspenseful tale full of history and with wonderful characters. I loved the heroine for her courage and her defiance of the Norman overlord. To be Saxon in those days of William the Conqueror was to know hardship and humiliation. Ceidre tried to do her part to fight against it even at the cost of her personal integrity. Rolfe was a strong leader who was clearly a favored knight of the king, yet he risked much to protect the Saxon maid he wanted.This is a well-researched, well-written story with lots of grist. Though Ceidre and Rolfe are fictional, her two brothers, Edwin and Morcar were real historic figures who rebelled against Norman rule till their deaths.I recommend it and the second one. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars ROMANCE AUTHORS TAKE HEED ! *by T***Y on Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2015* ROMANCE AUTHORS TAKE HEED...Because they are many who write NEGATIVE reviews or refuse to read a book with "CHEATING" in it.....(and boy are they missing out )Many AUTHORS today stifle their creativity trying too hard to be PC and in the process ends up writing the SAME romance books over and over with just different storylines ...YAWN !THE BEST ROMANCE BOOKS that are often mentioned and well remembered DO have "cheating " or a hero /heroine who are "fighting the relationship (or for any reason ) and becomes involved with OW /OM ...These are the books that make you FEEL and are REALISTIC...Today... books are sugary sweet FLUFF...and while ...yes !...they can be good reads and swoon worthy... THEY ARE ALSO FORGETTABLE! They are wayyyy more readers out their like me who want to read a romance book that is well written with realistic characters (flaws and all) who are involved with OW/OM and have to work for what they want !Do yourself a favor ..read negative reviews carefully ...mostly they are written because of the "C" wordIf you are one of those who only likes the PC Romance books ...BOY are you missing out! and for those PC AUTHORS ...BOY are you forgettable ! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/54072852-the-conqueror-the-dewarenne-dynasty-book-1](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/54072852-the-conqueror-the-dewarenne-dynasty-book-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
