Book five in a 6 book series.
England, 1158. Elsbeth of Sunnandune longs for the quiet prayerful life of the convent. She has no desire to be a bride or a mother, no longing for the things of this world, but she is a woman and a woman must obey the will of men: king, father, husband, priest. Men rule her life.
But if she can prove herself submissive enough, obedient enough, then she might trade obedience now for the convent later. It is this hope her father holds out to her when he arranges for her to marry Hugh of Jerusalem, and it is a hope Hugh holds out to her as their vows are said. Hugh, a golden knight from a golden land, tempts her to believe.
Hugh must marry. It is the only way he can attain what he wants, even if he has no real desire for a wife. He is a man of the Levant, a godly man from the most holy city on Earth. He will do all he can to keep Elsbeth from harm, yet he will get what he wants from her. Elsbeth, ever on her knees in prayer, has no defenses against Hugh. This man is determined to lead her into temptation.
