The Unveiling and The Yielding, the first two post in the Age of Faith series, introduced readers to the formidable Wulfrith family during Duke Henry’s battle for England’s throne and his succession. Now that Henry wears the crown, he is more determined than ever to bring the Wulfriths to heel.
IN THE EYES OF THE CHURCH AND MEN, HERS IS NO SMALL SIN
Lady Gaenor Wulfrith is a woman scorned. And King Henry’s pawn. After three broken betrothals, she is ordered to wed her family’s enemy, a man she has never met and has good reason to fear. Faced with the prospect of an abusive marriage that will surely turn worse when her sin is revealed, she flees her family’s home with the aid of a knight—a man who could prove her ruin.
Christian Lavonne, the only remaining heir to the barony of Abingdale, has thrown off his monk’s robes—and God—to minister his lands. Determined to end the devastation wrought by his family’s feud with the Wulfriths, he agrees to marry his enemy’s sister, a woman no man seems to want. When he learns she has fled with a knight who has broken fealty with the Wulfriths, he pursues her, knowing that when they meet his own sin will be revealed and he will be as much in need of redemption as the woman who may carry another man’s child.

Summary
The Redeeming is book three in the Age of Faith series by Tamera Leigh. The novel picks up where book two left off, continuing the saga of the Wulfrith family and their medieval peers. Each novel shines the spotlight on one of the Wulfrith siblings; this time sister, Gaenor is the protagonist. We learned in book two that King Henry has stipulated that Gaenor must marry Christian Lavonne in an effort to bring an end to the hostilities between the two families. Unfortunately Gaenor had thrice been thrown over in marriage betrothals because of her immense height and average looks. Ms. Leigh does a wonderful job probing the heart and mind of Gaenor revealing hurts and fears that lead her to attempt running away to avoid the forced nuptials. Then there is the flip side: the lucky groom, Christian Lavonne. Again, Ms. Leigh thoroughly leads her readers through Baron Lavonne's past and present, and his own fears and resentments that don't bode well for a good start to a forced marriage. I found myself cheering for their combined future and hoping for a \"happily ever after\" ending. Filling out the middle was plenty of intrigue and extra story lines that are certainly hints of what is to come in book four. There are surprises aplenty to keep you hooked to the very last word . . . And hankering for more!
