First sentence: The first day of the new year dawned bright and crisp, the night's fresh-fallen snow touching all of Winton with its dazzling purity, capping the spires of the cathedral and the castle towers with white and lying in thick drifts against the city walls.  Inside the castle, only the servants had begun stirring.  The rich tapestries that hung over the windows in the king's chamber shut out the sparkling winter light and held in the night's still peace for the two nestled together in the luxuriant bed.
Description: He has learned to love her with all his heart.  Now he must learn to let her go.

There is peace in the kingdom at last and King Philip wants nothing more than to spend his days watching his children grow and enjoying the company of his beloved Rosalynde.

Reghed, Lynaleigh's neighbor to the north, suffers greatly under the heavy hand of its king, the evil and demented tyrant Sarto.  But Philip resists God's urging to bring aid to Reghed's people until the night Rosalynde is torn from his arms and carried into Sarto's dark realm.  Despite the serious injuries he sustained trying to protect her from her captors, Philip insists on following after her and finds himself face to face with the suffering he has till now turned away from.  Sarto eventually captures Philip, too, determined to kill him in order to fulfill his sinister plans.  Can Philip free himself, Rosalynde and the people of Reghed?  Or has his disobedience lost him the love and protection of God?
