Raised in a remote English village, Beth Battock is now a beautiful and ambitious rising star in British politics and a champion of Americaβs call to arms. But when a tawdry scandal threatens to destroy her career, Beth is forced to return to the one place no one will find her: Slapton, the provincial hometown sheβs kept secretβand to the relatives sheβs claimed are dead. There, sheltered by a constancy that both comforts and repels her, she discovers the enchanting tale of Sir Guy de Bryan. More than six hundred years later, his sweeping epic of the havoc wrought by war becomes a story for the present day. His love for a woman becomes the story of love itself. And as Beth becomes absorbed by his passions, his painβand the mystery behind his fervent last wishβthe shadows of the past begin shifting around her. From them will emerge the key to her restless spirit, the astounding truth of her own ancestryβand the powerful message a repentant knight once left behind that will challenge her deepest views.
