Aiden FitzRam has lost his mother and father in a shipwreck. Feeling extreme guilt because they used his passage has led him into making a controversial decision for atonement. He must live the life of a religious. Both his brother Edwin and sister Ragna violently oppose this choice, but as much as he detests the life, he is stubborn. That is...until he meets Nolana Kyncade! Her stepfather Baron Grouchet plans for her to marry an old man of his acquaintance who needs an heir. Since she fears being used by this man, she runs. Her intentions are to head to the closest nunnery, or better still, to her father's people in the Fells. From then on the story becomes a book incredibly hard to put down. Help from an old crone leads to her being in the same market place as Aiden and from the moment his blues eyes meet her green beauties full of fear, his course changes. Ms. Markland has hit the bulls-eye with this love story. Full of her rich prose, and descriptive narrative, she brings the times alive so well that one can't help but visualize and become immersed in this setting. Perfect diversion for a lazy afternoon!
