Romance | Historical
In twelfth century France, King Henry II of England has
just finished quashing a rebellion by his power-hungry
sons and now seeks to tame the lawless barons who
supported them in this corner of his "Angevin empire." To
this end, the king has sent the Earl of Gunthar as his
royal representative to ensure that Prince Richard and his
former cohorts faithfully adhere to the terms of the peace
treaty. Far from being welcomed with open arms, Gunthar
no sooner steps foot in the county of Poitou than he is
greeted by a series of assassination attempts. All appear
to be linked to the former rebellious prince through the
agents of the family and friends of young Heléne de
Laurant. A clever, intrepid young woman, she realizes that
the only way to prove her loved ones' innocence is by
exposing the true assassin. Heléne races against time-and
dark secrets of the past-to unmask the killer before the
kingdom plunges back into war. Fierce determination
gives way to mutual attraction as Heléne and Gunthar spar
over the identity of the traitor. But their blinding
magnetism almost causes them to overlook an even deadlier
threat from an entirely unexpected direction.
