This is a MM that takes place in the 14th Century. When I first read the synopsis, I thought it might be similar to [b:The Scottish Boy 50169793 The Scottish Boy Alex de Campi https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1567558096l/50169793.SX50_SY75.jpg 73235203] but the only similarity is the era and setting. This is a more traditional MM historical romance with a dash of violence. It's a 14th century road trip story where the two fall in love over their travels. The book is very well paced and thought out, with a satisfying conclusion. It has a HEA and the epilogue is just the conclusion of their life so I don't think it detracts from that. I'll just say that they don't die side by side as old men in bed, but the ending in the epilogue feels a lot more historically accurate for this time period and their lifestyle.
