Eleanor the rebel, whose secret could lead to her execution. Characters are well-defined: Hugh the steadfast follower, who stands by his king despite of what he sees around him. The author has clearly done her research, and you get a real sense of place and time. I thoroughly enjoyed this fast ride through medieval northern England. But she acquiesces and marries Hugh, even though she carries a secret with her that he must never know. Her first husband mistreated her, and she'd managed very well on her own. Shocked, but also intrigued by the beautiful, headstrong widow, Hugh does as he is bid.Įleanor of Tallany does not want to wed, but finds she has no choice. When Hugh de Villiers is sent north, to visit the lady of Tallany Castle about some outlaws that steal money from the king's tax collectors, little does he know the real reason King John sent him there – to marry the widow.
