On her eighteenth birthday, Honor Harris meets Sir Richard Grenvile - proud, reckless, and utterly captivating - and the pair are drawn irresistibly together. But days before their wedding, a tragic accident leaves Honor partly paralysed, and she reconciles herself to a life alone.
Fifteen years later, with the country in turmoil, Honor and Richard meet again. Honor is sheltering with her sister at her Cornish estate, while Richard has risen to become a general in the king's army. With old passions rekindled, Honor must draw on her courage to defend her country and save Richard's life - at any cost.
