England, 1296
 
When Lady Edyth DeVries loses her mother to the witch’s noose and her father to the very men who condemned her, she has no choice but to flee into the wilds of Scotland. Hunted and alone, she carries a dangerous secret—one she barely understands and cannot afford to reveal.
 
As King Edward I tightens his grip on Scotland, dismantling loyalties and spilling innocent blood, Edyth’s only hope lies in reaching the last family she has left. But the path is treacherous, and survival is far from certain. When a bold young knight, Ewan, offers his aid, Edyth must decide if she dares to trust him—not only with her secret, but with her heart.
 
Amid war and whispers of rebellion, Edyth must navigate shifting allegiances, unravel the mystery of her past, and fight for a future she never thought possible.
