A Tapestry of Dreams by Roberta Gellis has dropped to $1.99 at Kindle US. I know Gellis is better known for her historical romances, but I became a fan of hers in DTB days for her four historical mysteries, published around the turn of the century, featuring Magdalene la Batarde. (All four are now available in ebook too!) I wish she'd publish more in that series, but in the meantime, maybe I'll try this title...

Quote:
Exciting, romantic, and utterly satisfying." -Mary Jo Putney
Against all odds, they dare to search for love ... the lady who has sworn not to marry ... and the knight who has vowed to win her heart...
For the lovely Lady Audris, taking a husband would mean losing her home. She is content to concentrate on her special gift, weaving gorgeous tapestries that often contain hints of the future. But nothing predicts the arrival of Hugh Licorne, confident in his strength and single-minded in his determination-to have her.
From the moment Hugh sets eyes on Lady Audris, he knows he has found the woman destined to be his wife. She's courageous and beautiful, delicate yet strong. But winning her trust and defending her from her enemies will be the greatest battle he has ever faced.
A richly detailed medieval historical romance, fans of Julie Garwood, Johanna Lindsay, and Mercedes Lackey will fall in love along with Hugh and Lady Audris.
With over eight million books in print, award–winning author Roberta Gellis sets the standard for sweeping storytelling full of passion and pageantry. Publishers Weekly has termed her a master of the medieval historical. Her many awards include: The Silver and Gold Medal Porgy for historical novels from West Coast Review of Books and the Golden Certificate and Golden Pen from Affaire de Coeur, several Romantic Times book awards and also their Lifetime Achievement Award.
