When Robert of Lexington meets his enemy's daughter, the last thing he thinks will happen is that they will band together to rescue two young people taken by slavers. They enlist the help of a giant of a man and a vengeful former slave, and the four go to the slavers' camp to free the two children. Along the way, Robert falls in love with War Leader Voth Dothson's daughter and decides that no matter what, he will never let her go. The last days of King William I of England include the Battle of Mantes. The King's death and his funeral are events which may be among the strangest in history. Again, Ms. Fraizer writes an action-romance, this time in in a historical, medieval setting. The book also features footnotes defining medieval terms and words in French.
