About the book
When Sabine walked over the green battlements of Maiden Castle, she had no premonition of the strange future ahead, when she would reign as mistress in the great house. The scandal rocked society in the early nineteenth century, for gentlemen did not marry servant girls.

Torn by conflicting emotions of hatred and love, she soon saw that death was the only outcome—but for whom?
