Description

Wales, 1093. The warm, comfortable family life of young Nesta is destroyed when her father is killed and she is taken hostage. Her honour is further tarnished when she is taken as an unwilling concubine by King William's ruthless younger brother Henry, who later ascends the throne under suspicious circumstances.

Nesta's marriage to Gerald FitzWalter, a young knight rewarded for his loyalty, brings her a sense of comfort, but also raises questions about her future. As she navigates the complexities of her new life, she finds herself torn between duty and desire, particularly when she meets the charismatic son of a Welsh prince, who offers her a chance to join him in his plan to overthrow Norman rule.

This is a heart-wrenching tale of survival in a man's world, where the men who would protect her are dead and banished. Elizabeth Chadwick's masterful storytelling brings to life a rich and dramatic period piece, full of history, romance, action, and heartbreak.
