Christiana, only child and heir of the earl of Gladsbury, binds her breasts and dresses as a boy in denial of her womanhood. She longs to be a knight, yet should the earl die in battle while Christiana is unwed, she and Gladsbury would be at the mercy of the king. Knowing it’s not only time that she marry, but that she learn a noblewoman’s tasks of managing as well as defending a castle, the earl assigns her for defense lessons to his most eligible knights—Guy de Bere and the mysterious new arrival, Rowan du Veau, known as the Dark Knight.
The earl also hopes to awaken her sensuality, but is unaware that each man harbors a secret. Under the tutelage of these strong knights, will Christiana discover their true natures? Will the earl’s hope that his daughter learn to revel in the power of her womanhood come to fruition, or will she, like many women of her day, become just a pawn for one man’s greed or another man’s need?
