1307, Carlisle, England Young Allyson is the first to hear of the death of King Edward II during a battle with the Scots—but cannot reveal her knowledge lest she be exposed as a witch. When the man she loves, a Templar, returns from France with news of the disbanding of his order and the arrest of its leaders, she realizes that the heir to England might well betray the Templars to his own advantage. She must turn for aid to the one man she dare not trust her own husband. Each of them holds a secret that will change the lives of the others as they work to prevent the war with Scotland from becoming the ruin of them all. If you're a fan of the Dark Apostle novels, this novella will show you characters you thought you knew with a history you'd never suspect. For those who are not familiar with The Dark Apostle series, this novella contains an excerpt from volume 1, Elisha Barber magic, intrigue, and medieval surgery.

We have actually already met the main character, Randall, in Ambrose’s Elisha Barber, book one in her “The Dark Apostle” series. In this captivating novella we also get to meet Randall’s young wife Allyson. Allyson has a secret...a secret that if it were to be discovered would cause her to be burned at the stake.I loved getting to delve more into this couple’s lives a bit more than what you get to learn in the main series. Allyson is a magus. This is not something you announce back in 1300, in England. She had not even confided in her husband, a man that paid the right price, in a dowry, for her hand in marriage. I can’t even say that it was a romance in which she was significantly younger. There was no romance. Or was there?
Allyson had eye’s for one of the Knights of the Templar, her heart belonged to him, despite his convictions to his sect.
We learn that Allyson can “hear” people’s thoughts through direct or indirect touch and it is with this “gift” and another young magi that Allyson learns that the King of England has been killed in battle with Scotland, a fact that she can not share for fear of being called a witch.

The Grail Maiden The Dark Apostle E C Ambrose 9781941107041 Books Reviews
Don't read past page 15 if you're not ready to give up the next several hours of your life. This is a fun little novella that's good as a stand-alone or who just want more of the world of Elisha Barber.
I have read the two released novels in the Dark Apostle series, and I really enjoyed this novella that follows Allyson and Randall. It takes place against historical events with names familiar to anyone who has watched Braveheart Longshanks, Edward II, and Robert the Bruce. Ambrose creates deep, well-researched settings with a gritty touch of magic. Here, she goes deeply into the perspectives of Allyson, a witch who has kept her abilities and emotions hidden from her new husband, Randall, after her very abusive first marriage. This novella is a love story, but absolutely not a romance. These are two people deeply divided by a lack of communication and the expectations of their own gender roles within the period, and it's a divide that makes sense considering Allyson's past abuse.
I highly recommend this for readers who enjoy historical fantasy, and it's a great introduction to the world if you haven't read any of the Dark Apostle novels.
