About the book
Larentia felt the Duke of Tregaron's eyes upon her, as though her were speaking to her without words. "Look at me, Larentia!" She could not take her eyes from the Duke's and knew that she was his prisoner whether she wished it or not. Very slowly, the Duke put his arms around her and pulled her against him. Closer still, then his lips were on hers. She was kissed for the first time in her life. It was not only the Duke who held her captive. It was also the mystery of the Castle and the Knights who lived in it, the legendary magic... all her secret dreams rolled into one....
