“Forbidden: A Novel Set in Medieval England” by C De Melo, Narrated by Kyle James Higgins

The only clue to Nicodemus’ past is the ruby crucifix found in his swaddling clothes when he was abandoned at a monastery. The boy grows up to become a fierce Templar who fights for God, but the gruesome carnage of battle weighs heavily upon his conscience. His faith is further tested by Gweneth, the woman who haunts his thoughts and stirs forbidden desires.

Set in 12th-century England, Forbidden is a compelling tale of sibling rivalry, greed, deception, and a knight’s honor.
