Synopsis

A maiden who must fulfill her duty. A man who thirsts for vengeance – and another who longs for forgiveness. Is there a place for each of them in God’s house of mercy?

When a hailstorm ruins her father's crops, Bethan goes as a kitchen servant to work off her family's debt to the local lord. Yet, in her first days at the old Roman fortress, Bethan meets two young men who are very different from the priest's son to whom she is betrothed – friends who have dark histories... and shrouded futures.

Deoradhan has swallowed much of sorrow’s cup and found it bitter. Haunted by his father’s murder at the hands of one he trusted, alienated from the Roman God who betrayed him, burning to obtain his rightful throne in the rugged north, the young exile returns to Logress, where High King Arthur holds together a frail confederacy.

There at Oxfield, Deoradhan's friend Calum seeks absolution for a deed he committed many years ago... a deed that ended in the death of one dearest to him and drove him from his home.

Will Deoradhan stop at nothing to gain his rightful position? Is atonement possible for Calum after so many years? And what of those - including Bethan - whose lives have become interwoven with theirs?
