About This Book

Against the backdrop of a troubled duchy, the story traces clandestine gatherings of restless nobles who scheme against their ruler and the arrival of a disguised, armed stranger who exposes a hidden spy; a tender romance develops amid rivalry, shifting loyalties, betrayals and counterplots. The narrative alternates intimate scenes of confession and repentance with tense episodes of ambush, duel and capture, building toward the exposure of conspiracies and the dramatic surrender of a fortified seat. Themes of honor, mercy and the conflict between personal feeling and public duty run through a tightly plotted sequence of intrigues and revelations.
