About this ebook

THE EXECUTION

What if you had only one night to live…and you met someone worth dying for?


Tomorrow…he would be dead

Fourteenth Century France  


D’ata, a young priest, is a dark angel amid the death and despair of the medieval prison. As he enters the cell of the condemned man, the mercenary—the evil one—D’ata is immediately transfixed by the killer’s eyes. He is shocked to discover that the face of the murderer is his own, a mirror image of himself. 

The twins, unknown to each other until now, reveal the life events that brought them to this fetid dungeon, creating an unbreakable bond sealed with their darkest secrets. But with only hours until the execution, D’ata begins to question which man should truly be condemned. Should it be Ravan, the ruthless killer—a boy from an orphanage who suffered the unimaginable? Or, should it be himself, the man of God whose own tormented desires ended in the inescapable darkness of his own soul? 

As the sun rises, D’ata knows what he must do. Only one man would die…but two men would be free.

An extremely well written story and with a twist to the end that was expected. One basic error, Brandy features a lot and in 14th. century Europe it had not been discovered, it is cerdited to a dutch dealer in the 16th. century

I got this book as a promotional download, and read several others before returning to it. I enjoyed it thoroughly, and will be downloading the sequel as soon as I finish this review!
