Summary

Book Title: Hereafter
Book Author: Jody Hedlund
What do you like about this book:
"God made you for more . . . . This was the time for more."
Torn between saving the lives of her parents and fulfilling her destiny, Princess Emmeline faces an impossible challenge. Marriage to King Ethelwulf's son was either an escape route, or a prision sentence; she highly doubted it could ever bring peace.
In spite of the fact that Prince Ethelrex exudes enormous skill as a warrior, Emmeline has to reluctantly admit that he is a surprisingly honorable leader; treating her with a strange mix of kindness and protection. However, the real question remains; when faced with monumental decisions, will the prince become as despicable as his father; suggesting that she betray the sisters that she has never met or will he offer the ultimate sacrifice to restore the throne of Mercia?
This stirring conclusion to the "The Lost Princesses" has everything a climax should embrace; "wisdom, healing, and courage" to the very end. . . . . and of course quite a dash of romance! "But was love enough?"
