Moira Falkner is one person whose life has been disrupted by Addis’s return. Everyone has long presumed that Addis died on the crusade, and his return comes as a surprise to many. His wife has died, and his step-brother has seized his lands after accusing Addis’s deceased father of treason. When he returns home to England, it appears that his problems are just beginning. That being said, By Possession is a very good read, and Madeline Hunter addresses the troublesome inequality issue with thoughtfulness and insight.Īddis de Valence has spent the last six years in the Baltics after being captured during a crusade. Fundamentally, master/servant romances make me very uncomfortable, usually because of the inherent inequalities between the hero (who always seems to have the upper hand in these scenarios) and the heroine. Though her status as a serf is in question, she spends much of the book as his bondwoman. By Possession is a medieval romance about a knight and a woman who was born a serf, bound to his lands. I know an author is really talented when she makes me enjoy a book with a premise that I basically dislike.
