Years ago, young Robert Fenner was forced into marriage with Lady Blaunche. Now, in 1442, he is being forced toward warfare over the property to which she wrongfully claims ownership. To make matters worse, a wealthy young heiress has captured hearts on both sides of the feudβ including hisβand it is up to Robert to decide whom she will marry.
Drawn from her nunneryβs contemplative quiet by Lady Blauncheβs need, Dame Frevisse is caught up among the passions of a man desperate for what he cannot have; a powerful knight blocked from what is rightfully his; and a young woman trapped in the eye of the storm. Who will see that justice is done after honest love and dishonest lust spawn anger, greed, and finallyβ¦murder?
