Welcome back for another week of Medieval Monday excerpts. Today I have Judith Marshall visiting with her next snippet from Night of the Owl. You can find the next part of Eyes of the Seer right here. Enjoy!
When food and drink were gone, he lay on his side facing her, propped up on one elbow. Lovelier than ever, Ardyth stared at the river with a faraway look in her eyes. She appeared content, but he couldn’t be sure.
Suddenly, her brow puckered. “Hugh…”
“Aye?”
“Why are you convinced there’s no treasure?”

True love transcends time.
PhD student Ardyth Nightshade has renounced men and pursues her twentieth-century career with single-minded focus. When fate whisks her to medieval England, she meets her match in a man whose passions mirror her own. Can she sacrifice ambition for a love she never sought?
Hugh, Lord Seacrest confounds all who know him. He refuses to marry without a meeting of minds and hearts, and no lady has even approached his ideal…until Ardyth. But she's an odd one, with unique skills, shocking habits, and total conviction she needs no man. She also harbors secrets, and in the midst of rumors, plots, and murder, trust is fragile.
A woman outside of her time. A man ahead of his. They must take a leap of faith to forge a bond that will shape history.
