Publisher's Synopsis
Honor Wilson is the living embodiment of all that is pure and good, exactly the hospitable daughter her father raised her to be. Although Murdina Menzies is Honor's houseguest she can hardly take much more of Honor's good intentions, especially her suggestion that Murdina forgive and forget the bloody Stewarts. Lord Stewart murdered Murdina's family and stole her father's castle when she was just a girl, but that is no matter. Murdina will hate the Stewarts as long as she has breath and she will avenge her father's death if it kills her.
Soon enough Murdina decides she is done living in Honor's tiny cottage by the woods, barely surviving. While Honor remains a dutiful daughter, her stubborn brother Alex has his own mind. He casts his lot with Murdina and joins her in planning the downfall of the Stewarts and stealing back the castle, ignoring Honor's pleas to help Murdina let got of the past.
Honor may be devoted in prayer but Murdina has a heart of stone and a wicked sword. As Murdina chases her own destiny, only time will tell who rises and who falls.
