Fans of The Pillars of the Earth are sure to lose themselves in this medieval saga of feudal plots and heart-wrenching emotion. When the shadow of war leaves Elizabeth isolated and destitute, only her sharp mind and the clothes on her back stand between the servant girl and despair - until an encounter with a rebellious nobleman changes everything. "A captivating medieval saga that skilfully blends romance, political intrigue, and historical drama." "A perfect read for fans of historical fiction and epic romances." "Elizabeth avoids the classic pitfalls of being the perfect heroine. It's not easy to create a strong female character in a male world without falling into anachronism, but Kelly River is successful. We care about her because she really has to fight to exist."
