Aprašymas

A compelling new historical series set in an English Manor House! For fans of Alison Weir, Elizabeth Chadwick, Conn Iggulden and Philippa Gregory.

Life is wonderful at the manor ... or is it?

1342, Lincolnshire, England

Clémence Masson has always yearned for more than her expected marriage to an apprentice or farmer's son.

So when an opportunity arises at the nearby Grimsthorpe Manor House to be a companion to a newly-arrived bride-to-be, Clémmie is excited by the opportunity.

The young bride is soon to be handfasted to the lord of the manor, Ruadhán Amundeville, who is recently returned from battles with the Scots.

Ruadhán's uncle Aedric has been overseeing the estates in the young lord's absence, and it soon becomes clear to Clémmie that Aedric does not have Ruadhán's best interests at heart.

But Clémmie does. She has found herself falling for the charming lord of Grimsthorpe.

When Ruadhán leaves for war with the French, Clémmie is left with Emma to deter Aedric's unwanted advances.

And with the Black Death threatening, all of their lives could be at stake...

Will Clémmie achieve her dream of rising above her station? Could Grimsthorpe hold the key to her happiness?

Or will the darkness surrounding the manor destroy everything in its grasp...?
