Cast out in disgrace from the family estate, dashing young Sir Gervase Escot was drawn towards the great castle at Malling… For there lived the much-courted beauty, Lady Elaine, to whom Gervase was once to have been betrothed.
Rescuing a young girl from robbers, Gervase discovered that she was Elaine’s sister, the Lady Beata — a rebellious girl pledged from birth to the church.
Would Gervase ever be able to reveal his true identity to Beata? Could the power of his love — or the deadly skill of his sword — save Beata from the celibate life she dreaded?
