description: THEY FORGED A BOND OF FORBIDDEN PASSION
  
  ALYS -- delicately beautiful daughter of a humble knight, she entered a world of treachery and betrayal when she married into a royal family that vowed to destroy her.
  
  RAYMOND -- the handsome nephew of Queen Eleanor, he was heir to a fortune -- but would have only Alys. He renounced his blood ties to possess the woman he loved.
  
  Trapped in a labyrinth of shifting alliances and desperate intrigues, Alys and Raymond endured the blood of battle and the pain of separation as they defied all in a bold quest for an eternal love.
