A young Scottish laird's daughter, Carington Kerr, is sent south under guard to live in the fortress of an English Border-Earl Richard, as a hostage-pledge for her father's clan. The 4 day journey is filled with misadventures for the whole troop due to the continuing misbehavior of Cari. While their hostage's behavior drives her escorts mad with frustration, one knight, Sir Creed, is able to hold his temper in check, so he is given the honor of being personally responsible for Cari on the trip and again once they reach Earl Richard's castle. The unlikely pair form a grudging friendship and begin to fall in love. But, local dangers surround not only the castle's people, but there is a price put on the head of Sir Creed by none other than the King in faraway London. A very good medieval novel that is filled with the adventures, loves, and betrayals that filled that period. The romance of the fiery Lady Cari and her reluctant escort, Sir Creed is sure to keep readers well engaged. Throughly enjoyable through to the very ending!
