Guy de Bryan is the perfect gentle knight, regarded far and wide as a good man, renowned for his devotion to chivalry. But when he sees Elizabeth, he knows what he feels for her is anything but courtly love. It is an emotion so strong that it will lead him into mortal danger, make him act in a way he would have thought impossible - and change the course of both their lives.

Elizabeth's sin must never come to light, and Guy will not reveal it even in confession. But as he leads a fraught, dangerous mission across the freezing Alps, his secrets torment him. And a young squire accompanying him begins to draw out what de Bryan has hidden for so long - a remarkable tale of rivalry, murderous
deception and deep passion.

Six hundred years later high-flyer Beth Battock is caught in a drama of her own. Forced back to her home village by a political scandal, she must come to terms with her own and her family's history, the thread that binds them to the de Bryans
and the realisation that she is not alone in her mistakes...
