71. The Lady of the Sea

by Rosalind Miles (356 pg)

Isolde finally gives up on her marriage to King Mark and decides to return to Ireland. Things are more complicated for Tristan, however, he made an oath to King Mark and feels he must abide by it. Andred, however, is stirring up King Marks murderous rage. Everything must fall apart before it comes together again.

The third of the Isolde series. The first was Isolde Queen of the Western Isle and the second was Maid of the White hands. This third book rather confirms my feelings about trilogies. The first and the third books tend to be good and the one in the middle is usually a transition book. This book was decent. The characters remain strong and all the loose ends are tied up. Miles does a good job of reminding the reader of the salient points of the first two books without engaging in plot summary.
