Thus the Chalice and Blade (woman and man)must struggle to stay together. Two characters, Ceridwen and Dain find themselves in a love greater than most have known. With the Lords of March and Wales at war much of the time. It is set in the middle ages between England and Wales, in an area called March.

I bought this book because I had one a few years back, loaned it out and never got it back. The Chalice and the Blade by Glenna McReynolds (1998) Now Ceridwen and Dain must struggle to escape the snares set by friend and foe alike, even as they discover a love that promises to bind them forever.
