  In the turbulent age when hearts knew no surrender, willful King Henry III waged a scheming war, setting the lords of England and France in bloody opposition. Within this raging conflict, two indomitable hearts would cling to an eternal passion...
  
  LADY BARBARA BIGOD -- The determined and beautiful daughter of an English earl, she struggled to keep peace within her divided family -- and secretly yearned for the man who sparked her first hidden passions...
  
  ALPHONSE d'AIX -- The reputed bastard son of a French lord, he had to risk his life -- and prove his honor -- to win the heart of the fiery Lady Barbara...
  
  The passions of youth sparked their first desire, but their bond would endure -- for Lady Barbara held dear a token of her lover's eternal devotion: a silver mirror, a symbol of victory and a reflection of love that would withstand the trials of war and the winds of change.
