I don't appear to have read the same book as other reviewers and I truly struggled to get through it. I found it repetitious and slow. I'm normally a very committed reader and seldom put a book down once I start it but this one truly dragged on. I wanted to like all the characters and the author had some good ideas but the execution was lacking. The story failed to engage me. Basically the h fled her home after she discovered her betrothed fornicating with her mother. She joins a pilgrimage to St Andrews where she intends joining a nunnery. The H is a disgraced Knight who is a mercenary for hire and he has joined the pilgrimage to discover an apparent assassination plot against a rich young noble. The story meanders along and is taken up in a large part by secondary characters who form part of the pilgrimage.
