THE UNVEILING, THE YIELDING, and THE REDEEMING introduced readers to the formidable Wulfrith family during Duke Henry’s battle for the English throne and his succession. THE KINDLING, the fourth book in the Age of Faith series, is the story of Sir Abel, the youngest and, perhaps, most dangerous of the Wulfrith brothers.
“’TIS SAID FAMILY CREATES A MULTITUDE OF SINS.”
Helene of Tippet is not her father or her brother’s keeper. Yet when she is enlisted to use her healing skills to aid a fallen knight, the secret she holds close threatens to visit her family’s sins upon her. Now she is in danger of loving where she should not—a man of the nobility, and one who has cause to despise her if ever he learns of the blood that courses through her veins. Dare she reveal herself? Dare she trust a warrior so bitter and intent on revenge? Dare she love?
Sir Abel Wulfrith, a man bred to battle, has the scar to prove one should never trust a woman. But when he is wounded by his family’s enemy, he finds himself at the mercy of one who could prove his undoing. Now he faces a battle against which no strategy can prevail, no blade can defend, no heart can escape unscathed. Can he forgive Helene the sins of the father—more, the sins of the brother? Can he reclaim his faith? Can he love?

Summary
The Kindling, Book Four of the Age of Faith series by Tamera Leigh is just as intriguingly fabulous as its three predecessors. The Age of Faith series is written around the medieval Wulfrith family, long famed as trainers of knights par excellence. Novel four picks up where book three left off, with the plot centering on the story of Abel Wulfrith and the enchanting healer, Helene of Tippett. That which is merely hinted at in book three is revealed, and the fallout of that information threatens to be the undoing of the novel\'s protagonists. I very much enjoy Ms. Leigh\'s way of writing; she knows how to pull her readers headlong into the events and lives of the characters in her novels. I admired Helene\'s willingness to forego what some would name her rights; yet for the desire of God\'s perfect timing, she remains in her humble estate. I admire Abel\'s struggle through personal issues that would seek to drive him to bitterness and ruination, yet in time, he learns humility and forgiveness, and finds himself, though physically marred and less than whole, a new man and stronger in spirit than ever. You will enjoy their love story, and ache for them during their time of separation. Though the novel could be read as a stand alone, I believe you would find the novel much more enjoyable if you have read the previous three books of the series. I am ready to start the final book in the series in \"three, two, one . . . NOW!\"
Voilence: This is a book that involves medieval knights, thus there are scenes that involve violence and talk of disemboweling and the like. However, none of the scenes are graphic in nature.
