Though Nicholas intrigues her, Amice yearns to run Castle Rising without a man?s control. Mutual interest and affection grows, yet serving opposing factions seeking to rule England threatens to pull them apart. At court, the king and queen reject Amice?s pleas and choose a new husband, a highly-ranked lord who?ll provide political connections and coin for the king?s depleted coffers that Nicholas cannot. How can she follow the king?s command when she?s a scribe for his rival, who she believes should rule? How can she marry another man when she?s falling in love with Nicholas?
