Sommaire:
They call him The Protector. But once upon a time, he was a knight who had failed in his greatest duty. It has been said that the Plantagenet royal family is full of vipers. No one knows that so well as Sir Fox de Merest, a knight of the highest order once given the ultimate assignment - to protect a royal bastard from the rage of Eleanor of Aquitaine. It was a task he failed miserably at - he fell in love with the woman he was supposed to protect. That failure resulted in her being committed to a nunnery.

No one knows of his past, but ten years after his abject failure, the subject rears its ugly head again. Fox's lady love was Gisele of Hampshire, royal offspring of Henry the Young King, and now her uncle, King John, is brokering a treaty that would see her plucked from the convent thrust into the limelight of a strategic marriage.

Love, it seems, has no reason - and no boundaries, royal or holy. For Fox and Gisele, it may be the ultimate sacrifice. And the ultimate pain....
