About this book

A sweeping historical romance set in the turbulent 14th century, this novel follows an epic love story that would ultimately shape the course of British history. When a powerful duke falls passionately for a woman already bound by marriage, their connection becomes a decades-long journey through war, scandal, and heartbreak—proving that some loves are simply too powerful to deny. Amid the glittering but dangerous courts of medieval England, where knights clash in battle and intrigue lurks around every corner, these two souls navigate impossible circumstances with courage and devotion. It's a lush, immersive tale of forbidden passion that shows why real love stories can echo through the centuries.

Spotify
yearningpassionatesweepingforbiddentimeless

Sweeping orchestral arrangements with lush strings, layered vocals, and medieval-inspired instrumentals. Mix in folk ballads and dramatic art pop. Moods of longing, passion restrained by duty, and timeless devotion. Think Enya meets Florence + The Machine with hints of classical romance.
