description: 1326 A.D.  Tate Crewys de Lara is the son of kings. The illegitimate son of Edward Longshanks Tate has the qualities of a magnificent king. But fate is cruel leaving him a mere knight protecting young Edward III during the uncertain days following the horrific murder of Edward II. While gathering allies for the young heir in Northumberland he meets the Lady Elizabetha Toby Cartingdon. Daughter of the Lord Mayor of Cartingdon Parrish Toby is a gorgeous woman with a mind for business. It is she who runs the parrish not her father. Taken aback by the strong bitter female Tate is nonetheless intrigued with her. He soon discovers why Toby seems so hard; her father is a drunkard and her mother is an invalid leaving Toby responsible to not only provide for the family but also for the welfare of her small sister. Feeling something more than curiosity Tate begins to break through the hard surface to discover the warm and compassionate woman beneath. Yet factions who would see the young heir dead make a sudden appearance drawing Toby into their malevolent plan. Soon she finds herself linked to both Tate and the quest to take the throne from Roger Mortimer. It becomes Tate's destiny to not only win a throne for young Edward but to win Toby's heart as well.
