Outcast female knight Riannon, disillusioned in the service of
dishonourable lords, seeks a cause worthy of a chivalric hero. Eleanor
would rather pay a hefty bribe to remain a widow than be forced to
marry any man who would take control of her and her lands. She has
given up hope of finding passionate love and her perfect knightthen
she meets Riannon. Powerful priestess Aveline is on a secret mission
from her Goddess to start a holy war to reclaim lost lands and a source
of ancient power for her religious order. She needs a warrior. She
binds Riannon through intrigue and a magical sword.

Loyalty and honour clash with love and ambition beneath the threat of
war. In a medieval world of magic and misogyny, three women's lives
become entangled in a tale worthy of troubadours' songs.
