Description

In 1333, during the long war between England and Scotland, nineteen-year-old Sir Harry de Lyon seizes a secret mission that sends him and a band of elite knights north to a crumbling keep—where a captured Scottish boy is handed to him under strict orders: keep him from escaping and win him over to the English cause. What begins as a brutal, hopeless arrangement turns unsettling as Harry discovers the boy’s surprising education, languages, and knowledge that don’t fit the story he’s been told. As tournament glory draws Harry closer to the king’s favor, a growing bond between them and the boy’s hidden lineage threaten to upend loyalties on both sides. Blending courtly intrigue, historical grit, and emotionally charged romance, this novel explores identity, power, and the dangerous cost of secrets when nations—and hearts—are at war.
