Richmond Castle, North Yorkshire - 1400s

Gunnar and his fellow Viking crew were cursed many years ago to live half their lives as men and half as beasts. Throughout the day, Gunnar spends his time in the form of a bull, but at night he becomes a man with many desires. Gunnar knows that to break his curse, he must find a woman to truly love him. When he seeks refuge in the warmth of Richmond Castle , he rescues a fair maiden from a fire, and his life will be forever changed.

Lady Eleanor never forgot the courageous knight who saved her. Many years pass and still she holds to the hope that he will arrive and take her away from her wretched arranged marriage and life. When Gunnar finally does meet the lady again, a passion is ignited that will not be ignored. Whether together or apart, Gunnar and Eleanor's love will never be forgotten no matter how hard they try, and the love itself is the only thing that can save them from their pasts.

IMMORTAL CHAMPION is a glorious book that begs to be read. From the eye-catching cover art to the depths of the pages, readers will be enthralled by Lisa Hendrix's craftsmanship. Gunnar and Lady Eleanor are a fabulous match. Their relationship is full of realistic fire and devastating loss that will make readers feel what each character is feeling.

Beginning in 1408, Lisa Hendrix takes readers on a far more thoughtful journey than just what Gunnar and Eleanor share. The historical details are wonderful and create an authentic atmosphere for the characters. Lisa Hendrix even states that, "This was one of those books where the research very nearly got out of hand." (Historical Notes from IMMORTAL CHAMPION)

I loved IMMORTAL CHAMPION from beginning to end. This is a book historical fans will not want to miss! Although reading the previous books is not required, it would benefit the reader with a deeper understanding of the background of the warriors' curse and lives. Be on the lookout for the previous books, IMMORTAL WARRIOR (2008) and IMMORTAL OUTLAW (2009).
