Through a Dark Mist - Wikipedia
She can only imagine what kind of horrors are in store for her person as she gazes into his silver eyes that hold no remorse. The problem with Servanne is she never knows she to hold her tongue and that gets her into more trouble as she fights her attraction to the Dark Lucien.

If you are wanting a long satisfying read then this may be for you. There are some rough scenes of torture and abuse, but you will have to read which Lucien did it. View all 7 comments. Aug 10, Mojca rated it it was amazing Shelves: Her much older and ailing husband had been rather perfunctory and the rumors of the prowess of the Dragon of Bl Through a Dark Mist Young and recently widowed Lady Servanne de Briscourt has been sold by Prince John, regent of England, into marriage to Lucien Wardieu, Baron de Gournay.
Her much older and ailing husband had been rather perfunctory and the rumors of the prowess of the Dragon of Bloodmoor Keep are rather loud and explicit. And her surroundings are quite breathtaking as well As are the whispers of outlaws hanging out in the forest How dare he accost them in this rude manner?! How dare he speak to her like that?!
And how dare he introduce himself as Lucien Wardieu, Baron de Gournay?! Quick and her Victorian era novels. The damsels in her modest wimples, the armored knights on their hulking war horses, the tournaments, the broadsword fighting, the feuds, the intrigue, the deceits, the secrets I just love how a hardened knight, swathed in bulky, movement constricting armor, can be brought down to his knees by a dainty damsel wimple and all.
And this story, the first in the Robin Hood Trilogy is a prime example of everything I love about historical romances set in medieval times. It had it all. Intrigue, secrets, deceits, stolen identities, rivalry and feuds, a tournament, broadsword fighting, good and honest outlaws, villainous villains, a few bastards, a viper in human disguise, the damsel in her modest wimple, and an armored knight on his hulking war horse who was brought down like a fallen tree by the aforementioned damsel.
The Black Wolf and Lady Servanne were a fantastic leading couple and I cannot wait to read about them in the rest of the trilogy. The antagonism between them was exhilarating, the passion explosive, the attraction obvious almost from the get-go. What surprised me was the beginning. The prologue started somewhere toward the end of the story, throwing the reader back through time to the beginning in the first chapter. And that prologue revealed the Black Wolf and Lady Servanne were completely in love well, she was, since the prologue is narrated somewhat from her point of view.
Read the blurb, if you want a sneak peek. It actually seemed to underline the mystique, the charm, and the pageantry of the era. The purplish prose rather fit as a narrative style.

The characters were well-defined, flawed, and with enough depth to make them real, the plot was nicely structured and tight, the narrative, though purplish at times, flowed nicely and well, and combined with the aforementioned elements, gave this story a feel of a page-turner for me, the pace quickening with each chapter, hurtling toward that cliff of a climax at the end.
I love these kinds of books. The kind that, despite knowing or at least imagining what will happen next, you keep turning the pages, wanting to know, wanting to explore, wanting to discover, living the tale alongside the characters, feeling their emotions, seeing their surroundings with them And you want to keep on reading. These are the keepers for me. And this is definitely one of them.
Aug 20, Misfit rated it really liked it Shelves: A bit of a bodice ripper, but the plot moves, the secondary characters are wonderful, a perfectly EVIL villain and villainess. The author has her tongue planted firmly in her cheek. All in all an enjoyable read, a nice piece of fluff to spend the weekend with. Sep 04, Res rated it did not like it Recommended to Res by: The one where the beautiful and highborn Servanne is kidnapped by a Robin Hood-style outlaw on her way to a political marriage.
The writing is so purple that I had to read very slowly to figure out what was going on. The POV shifts, while clearly done on purpose, are very distracting; at one point, you're in a guard's POV until the middle of the paragraph, when you're told, "He couldn't know this, for by then he was dead. Aug 03, Splage rated it liked it Recommended to Splage by: A good read, but more about battles and revenge than romance.
I did enjoy it, but I found myself skimming some of the details of the battle scenes to get to the dialog. View all 5 comments. May 19, Crista rated it really liked it Shelves: This book would make an excellent movie. It has the perfect mix of romance, danger, betrayal, secrets, revenge, and friendship.
It has the storyline of Robin Hood mixed with the jealousy and betrayals we saw in the movie Gladiator. The characters are bigger than life, and the plot moves along swiftly and entertainingly. I don't want to give too much away, but I'll say this. Not all is what it seems, and not everyone is who they say they are.
I loved the Wolf. He was tough but tender What a Ride! He was tough but tender at the same time. I loved the banter between him and Servanne, who I thought was a very likable heroine. The Dragon and Nicolaa were evil incarnate and I loved seeing them meet their fate in the end. This is a graphic novel. It is violent and some horrific battle and torture scenes are described. They were not offensive to me and were true to the tone and time of the novel. I went ahead and ordered the entire "Robin Hood" series This talented author and great book deserve much praise.
Apr 20, Dawn rated it liked it Shelves: I'm not usually tolerant if the hero is a rake, but I was somehow able to put that aside, what stopped me is the discovery of a bastard and the whole past thing the wolf had with Nicolaa. Yes she is evil, yes I'm sure the hero doesnn't care about her anymore, but she was his first and he loved her and was going to marry her.
I was even ok with this, but to have his past thrown up all the time was too much. I also didn't like all the constant reminders of all the women he had after her and he non chalant talk about rape.
AND the fact he has raped before! I know this is what was common in the past, but I don't care for this type of mentioning in my reads. I don't like the hero and at this point there is no redemption for him in my eyes. I gave 3 stars because the writing is good. View all 18 comments. Aug 05, Dangermousie rated it it was amazing Shelves: Also noble outlaws in Lincoln forest, evil Sheriff, Prince John blahblah. It's a hybrid of a period novel and romance one - too little romance and too much history and plot for a 'proper' romance novel.
As someone who prefers the romance: Anyway, the plot is as follows: Savanne is a recently widowed young woman who is quite happy to be married off to Lucien Wardieu, a famous good-looking knight, king's champion, powerful baron blah blah.

Problem is, as she rides through Lincoln forest on her way to her betrothed who she's barely seen , her group is ambushed by outlaws who kill the guards and take Savanne hostage. Their leader makes the insane claim that he's the real Lucien Wardieau and he wants nothing more than to kill Servanne's betrothed. It's a really fun, intense read. Do be warned - I believe every main character gets tortured or similar at least once.
Apr 23, Amy rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: Do you like to pretend that one day your Prince will come? Even when you are already married? OK, so I'm outing myself to you peeps.

And the fact that I do is probably the leading contributor to the fact that I am not married. Still, I have to give Marsha Canham big ole snaps because this book and all of her books, really , moves far beyond mere tawdry bits of female escapist fantasy and actually tells a story that is fun to read. Though, come on, who doesn't like a little tawdriness now and then? This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers.
To view it, click here. Oh my goodness, I never thought I'd finish this book! It is an epic chunkster, that's for sure! Two months, two different groups and a buddy read is what it took for me to finish, but ultimately I'm glad I did. There were a lot of things I didn't like about this book but I think there was more to like, once I got past a few things. First, I think I've decided to take Ms. Canham out of the historical romance category and put her in the dramatic saga with a HEA category. I would liken her book to G Oh my goodness, I never thought I'd finish this book! I would liken her book to Gone With the Wind , but with a happy ending.
You are swept into a completely different world entirely. I never once felt the book sounded modern, in fact, it's one of the reasons I had such a hard time with it. Not only are you in this other era, but it's being described to you in such detail, about so many things I've never heard of, much less know what they look like. Lots of word-searching the dictionary feature on my nook, thank goodness for that! If you're the sort of reader who can skim over the details you don't know, this might be no problem for you then. But I'm the sort who likes to see the whole picture, and if the author is going to use all these words I don't know, how can I get the full picture?
So I have to look up, which does take me out of the story. Fortunately, I began to get the medieval-speak, and terms were re-used, so I no longer needed to check as much. For the life of me I never knew what a wimple was, until I realized, I did, I just didn't know it's proper name.
And okay, this is suppose to be a romance, right? And there is one, well, actually three, sort of. There's the main romance between Servanne and Lucien. Then there's Alaric and Gil, and I'm sorta disappointed more wasn't delved into as to their story, I would have really liked that. And finally, Etienne and Nicolaa, if you can call that a romance, blech! But they sure do get a lot of face time in the books, of course they are the villains, so they're going to.
I felt more towards them than Servanne and Lucien, even if it was disgust. There was something missing between them, like a reason why they liked each other. I really didn't get why they fell in love, besides they liked the way the other looked, and they awesome sex in a very cool grotto that would probably put Playboy's to shame. I felt like Lucien was a very well developed character, but Servanne, besides her attitude, well, I don't know much else about her.
In addition to writing about "tall ships and exploding cannon," the legend of Robin Hood also appealed to her. As a result, the subject had always been something Canham desired to adapt, but she thought "it was rather brazen of me to think I could retell such a familiar legend in my own voice.
