Description
In the rugged landscape of medieval Scotland, a desperate bargain is struck between a determined knight and a noblewoman seeking refuge. Lady Alice, needing a dowry to escape her cruel uncle and enter a convent, proposes a deal to Hugh the Relentless: she will help him recover the stolen Stone of Scarcliffe, vital for his claim to his lands. Hugh agrees, but with a condition that binds them together for a year – Alice will become his bride. This arrangement sets the stage for a passionate and perilous journey where trust must be forged amidst ancient mysteries and simmering desires.
