A captivating new writer at an irresistible price
Critically acclaimed as "one of the brightest new writers in the genre," (Publishers Weekly) Madeline Hunter has taken the world of historical romance by storm with her sensually powerful novels that feature strong heroines, provocative heroes, and timeless passion. Now this hugely talented author offers us a new tale filled with her trademark blend of danger, adventure, and sizzling seduction.
The first time he laid eyes on her she had come to his rescue with a sword in her hand. Still Morvan Fitzwaryn had never seen any woman who aroused his interest and his passion more than the unconventional Breton warrior beauty. Anna de Leon took him into her castle and nursed him back to health, little knowing the spark of desire she was feeding with her caring ministrations. It wasn't long before Morvan had vowed to protect and conquer this unconquerable woman with all the sensual weapons at his disposal.
For her part, Anna de Leon had no interest in men as lovers or husbands. She was used to commanding men in battle. But she suddenly had the strange feeling that her well-fortified defenses could be breached by this dark-eyed, smolderingly handsome English knight. When her castle is besieged by an old enemy who claims both her and her lands, Anna finds she has no choice but to accept Morvan's aid — even if the enemy outside her walls is no match for the ally within, who with every tantalizing kiss and forbidden embrace threatens to make her a prisoner of her own fiery passion.

From Publishers Weekly
Brimming with rich historical detail and fiery repartee, Hunter's latest 14th-century romance (following By Design) is a battle of wills between Breton warrior beauty Anna de Leon and Morvan Fitzwaryn, the knight who is determined to subdue her. The Black Plague propels Morvan to seek refuge on Anna's lands, but when the disease fails to claim him, Morvan assumes a position as one of Anna's knights. With her father dead and the war over Breton raging between England and France, Anna must don men's clothing and a sword to defend her people. Morvan, however, is chiefly concerned with keeping Anna safe. Despite her attraction to Morvan, Anna is bound to enter the abbey once her younger sister is married. In addition, Anna's ignorance of her own attractiveness leads her to think that Morvan is only after her family's estate. Their path to attaining a loving relationship is freckled with a few feverish battles, several humorous minor disputes and many compromises, as Morvan slowly learns to accept Anna for the brazen, independent woman she is. Hunter is at home with this medieval setting, and her talent for portraying intelligent, compelling characters seems to develop with each book. This feisty tale is likely to win her the broader readership she deserves.

From Booklist
Morvan Fitzwaryn is facing an enemy from whom escape is virtually impossible: the Black Death. Holed up in an abandoned longhouse, he is rescued by a young woman who takes him to her keep. Anna de Leon is no ordinary nursemaid; she prefers manly pursuits and attire and is in essence the lord of her castle and the few who are left alive within it. Those closest to her see her as their leader, the villagers see her as a virginal saint, but she still views herself from the same unflattering perspective she had as an awkward young girl. Morvan finds her enigmatic, but, having miraculously survived the plague, he vows to protect and serve her. Anna doesn't see the need for protection and is unsettled by his persistent presence. Filled with danger and adventure, Hunter's romance weaves a mesmerizing and uplifting tale as Morvan and Anna somehow come together despite her extreme unconventionality. Maria Hatton

Fans Of This Series - Please Skip This One.....
By A Customer
I love this author, but this book really disappoints. I'd first read about Morvan and Anna in LORD OF A THOUSAND NIGHTS and I realize I should have left it at that. Anna was wonderful in both books, but now that I've read THE PROTCTOR I realize Morvan wasn't the man I thought him to be at all. Sure, he was arrogant, but I had no idea how demeaning he could be. I don't see how Anna could love a man who crushed the very life right out of her heart. He also trampled her pride and made her act submissive in front of her people in order to prove that he had complete power over her because he was THE MAN. He took all that belonged to her - her home, her lands, her income, and her horses. He had nothing. No sooner had she married him, Anna had to start sneaking around to do the things she enjoyed, and she had to wear clothes she disliked because HE told her to wear them. When it came time for her to devise an escape plan for Morvan, a weaker woman would have no longer had the confidence in herself to prevail. And since I know Anna wears men's trousers in LORD OF A THOUSAND NIGHTS, Morvan's awful treatment of Anna was all for nothing anyway. I would have found it hard to forgive his ill treatment. I also didn't like when Morvan referred to his sweet sister, Christiana, as "unbearably stupid." (She was naive about men.)
There were two redeeming factors to this book:
The brief scenes with Ian were delightful, and that gorgeous knight Ascanio was a wonderful friend to Anna. Too bad he was a priest.

Love in the Time of the Black Plague
By ellejir
Madeline Hunter writes excellent medievals, and this book is no exception. While not as emotionally wrenching as "By Possession" or unique in character as "By Arrangement", "The Protector" is a well-told tale with a wonderfully strong hero and heroine and rich historical detail.
"The Protector" is the story of Morvan Fitzwaryn, brother of the heroine of "By Arrangement" and a knight who has sworn to regain his family's lost lands--lands that he had been forced to surrender as a young boy. He encounters the lovely and unconventional Lady Anna de Leon when she rescues him from a group of fearful Breton villagers about to torch the cottage where he is sheltering with his plague-infected squire. Anna has been left as the political and military leader of her Breton castle following the deaths of her father and brother and the devastation of her own people by the plague. When Morvan himself is infected with the plague, Anna (who has survived the plague previously) nurses him and supports him emotionally and a special bond is forged between the two. In gratitude, Morvan vows to protect Anna and lends his sword when Anna's enemies attempt to take over her castle. Morvan is fascinated by Anna's strength and beauty, but Anna has vowed never to marry as she does not want to be in any man's power.
Anna is a wonderfully unusual heroine, marvelously strong and capable of holding her own with the men on the battlefield, she is insecure about her own attractiveness and cannot believe that the gorgeous Morvan would want her for herself and not for her lands and wealth. I found Morvan to be a hero worthy of Anna--strong enough to control her wilder impulses but gentle with her as well. There is an onslaught of negative reviews on this site about Morvan (strangely, most dating from January 6th and 7th, 2005), criticizing him for being too domineering and crushing Anna's spirit, but I saw that part of the book as two *very* strong people learning to accept each other and redistribute the balance of power. Anna really had the majority of the power at the beginning of the book, and I would not have been happy to see her marry someone that she could ride roughshod over. Morvan's rules and restrictions were primarily to protect her from her enemies and to maintain harmony in the castle. The power clashes were inevitable and very realistic considering the very strong willed heroine and alpha male hero and the compromises that both ultimately make for their love are touching.
In summary, this is a very well-written medieval with an unusually strong heroine and hero. The historical details about the plague are interesting and well done.
Highly recommended.

Power through the slow start for a satisfying tale
By B. Proczko
This is one of Hunter's longer novels, and I enjoyed the space she gave Anna to grow. While Morvan is not the most charming of her lead males, he was believable and a good foil for Anna. It's really Anna's book, and I was happy to hang out with her for a couple days. A REWARDING READ.
