One hundred years after the Great Surchatain Roman of Lystra . . . The beautiful Chataine Renee meets Nicole, 17-year-old daughter of a humble tailor, at the fair and insists she come for a visit to the palace at Westford. Raised in a peasant village on the coast, Nicole is unprepared for the sophistication and treachery of palace life--but her father has decreed that she shall not come home without a rich or noble husband.
Nicole's prospects include Counselor Carmine, handsome but disinterested; Commander Ares, who carries the pain of his past, and possibly even Surchatain Cedric himself. But these are dark times for the little province of Lystra, and Nicole discovers that in the presence of danger, even good men may veil the truth. The sequel to this book is Ares of Westford.
Robin Hardy is the author of The Annals of Lystra, The Latter Annals of Lystra, The Streiker Saga, The Sammy Series, Padre, His Strange Ways, The Idecis, and Unknown Name, Unknown Number: A Wimsey Reade Mystery.
