Summary: 4 Stars
Godwin breathes life into the real-life legend of King Harold of England and his common-law wife, Lady Edith of Nazeing. Harold of Wessex served his father, his family, and the Crown with his vision of a unified England. Both an antagonist of King Edward, who married Harold's sister Eagdytha, and later his strongest supporter, Harold worked towards uniting the lords. As Harold gains power and prestige, one woman stands beside him, his beloved Edith. Forbidden to marry by Church laws, Harold and Edith are married in a civil ceremony which begins twenty years of life together. Twenty years which are threatened by the crowning of Harold after Edward's death, and by the rise of William the Conqueror. On that fateful day at Hastings in 1066, Harold and Edith stand together. Godwin's powerful descriptions allow two legendary lovers to live as normal human beings swept up in the struggles of their times. The background and the relationships are realistic, and after reading this book, you will believe his version. _Lord of Sunset_ is a prequel, without fantasy elements, to _Sherwood_ and _Robin and the King_.
