About This Book

A resourceful young woman uses her medical knowledge to cure a king and secures a marriage promise as reward, choosing the noble she loves; after the marriage he shuns her and goes to war, insisting she can join him only if she brings his ring and bears his child. She follows him in disguise, engineers a private meeting that wins his ring and conceives children who later reveal the truth, leading to eventual reconciliation. A comic subplot exposes a boastful soldier whose bragging collapses under scrutiny. Themes include cleverness and agency, tests of fidelity, social rank, and the interplay of mercy and deception.
