About This Book

A hunting party discovers an unconscious foreign knight in a Breton forest, and his rescue sparks a fierce debate over hospitality, suspicion, and possible treachery. Set against the threatened absorption of a small duchy, the narrative moves between castle life, skirmishes, and courtly encounters as families and factions weigh personal compassion against communal duty. Chivalric conduct, divided loyalties, and the interplay of romance and political intrigue shape characters who must navigate betrayals, allegiance, and the precarious fate of their land.
