This book read a little slow for me and the storytelling didn't capture me particularly. I read through perseverance more than any real desire to finish.
I like the Medieval period but I would never go back to that time period. As Lynn points out, it's not safe for a woman outside of the walls of a palace or castle or keep. Sometimes, even then it's not a guarantee as Lady Sarah of Remy learned.
At a young age, Sarah's father left her under Queen Eleanor's care. He left her without any wealth to call her own and more importantly without lands. Completely at the Queen's mercy, Sarah grew up thinking she was quite blessed... until the Queen began her demands in return for all she'd done for Sarah.
Branded as the Queen's whore, Sarah is used to the way the other women treat her at court. She spies for the Queen without complaint, hoping one day the Queen will fulfill her promise and marry her off to a titled nobleman. That hoped is crushed when the Queen commands Sarah to wed William of Bronwyn.
William looks like a fierce and unloving man. His muscles bulge and his scowl is harsh, not to mention his reputation... why he is everything Sarah fears. But reputations can be deceiving as both William and Sarah both will learn.
