Four years after a spell brings Gaelynn Blackwood from the modern USA to the medieval land of Thaelia's world, Gaelynn is having problems fitting in. Braeden still resents giving his name to Amelia, Gaelynn's bastard daughter sired by King Arken. Braeden won't let her wield a sword or train as a knight. He keeps her confined to Faucione Keep. He is abusive and unfaithful. The last straw comes when Gaelynn discovers Braeden is having an affair with his squire, Bowen of Wymerth. She flees to the arms of Sir Ranulf de Corbeau. All Braeden wants is his wife to provide him with a legitimate heir of his blood. He loves Gaelynn but suspects a liaison between Ranulf and Gaelynn. Ranulf is his best friend and second-in-command. Braeden doesn't understand why Gaelynn is not satisfied. Doesn't she have everything a noblewoman could wish for? To complicate matters, King Arken makes repeated visits to Faucione's home. The Greycliff Monarch can't get Gaelynn out of his thoughts. Arken is determined to make Gaelynn his, no matter what the cost. Torn between her husband, her lover, and the King, Gaelynn must choose which man to make a life with. Too bad Arken and the Goddess Jaira feel the need to interfere. Will Gaelynn ever find her happily ever after?
