Abandoned as an infant, Isabeau de la Frêne has lived a sheltered life at the abbey of St Leonards, under the protection of the abbess.

Haunted by his family's betrayal, he is given an opportunity he can't resist: Reclaim the birthright his father lost, but only if he marries Lady Isabeau de la Frêne.
