England 1296
Losing her mother to the witch's noose and her father to those who placed her there, Lady Edyth DeVries flees for her life into the wilds of Scotland. With all her hopes pinned upon reuniting with the only family left to her, Edyth is tormented as a keeper of a dangerous secret, one that she is only just beginning to unravel.

On all sides bitter conflict looms yet help comes from an unlikely source. But can Edyth trust Ewan, the heroic young Scots knight, with her secret or with her heart?
