description: 1196 A.D.  Eyes as black as night. A decorated knight for Richard the Lionheart and an ally of the House of de Lohr Sir Garret de Moray was a man described as cold intimidating foreboding. A man with eyes as black as night. Receiving a royal appointment as Captain of the Household Guard there was no man more qualified or prepared for the role because on the sands of the Holy Land where Garret went on Richards great quest the Christian armies whispered of a knight whose wisdom was ancient. Some wondered if he was the walking dead an immortal soul who had lived many lifetimes over because his skill and power exceeded earthly restraints. Kronos they called him. The father of the gods. Then came a lady without hope. Beautiful Lyssia du Bose has lost everything  her father her home her family. Taken in by an aunt who was a lady-in-waiting for the Duchess of Wendover Lyssia finds a quiet existence in the shadows of a great home. A chance meeting with a warrior with eyes as black as night and suddenly her perspective on life begins to change. The quiet sometimes-frightening knight took an interest in her and she in him. Is it possible that someone should actually want her? More than she knows. When Lyssia catches the Duke of Wendovers attention as well the gentle romance between her and Garret quickly becomes something they must fight to hold on to. When Garret one of the most powerful knights in King Richards stable is challenged by a married duke who wishes to make Lyssia his mistress it is a battle that all of London will witness.
