Can love and faith surmount duty and royal commands? England 1453: Sir Nicholas Grey planned to go on a pilgrimage after fighting the French, but King Henry VI sends him to protect the recently widowed Lady Amice Winfield from undesirable suitors. Though Nicholas intrigues her, Amice yearns to run Castle Rising without a man's control. Mutual interest and affection grows, yet serving opposing factions seeking to rule England threatens to pull them apart. At court, the king and queen reject Amice's pleas and choose a new husband, a highly-ranked lord who'll provide political connections and coin for the king's depleted coffers that Nicholas cannot. How can she follow the king's command when she's a scribe for his rival, who she believes should rule? How can she marry another man when she's falling in love with Nicholas?
