The only life which sixteen-year-old herbalist Jane Dare has ever
known suddenly and traumatically vanishes, when a group of renegade
knights destroys the convent in which she has grown up and slays
everyone who lives there except herself, the convent infirmarian,
and their two patients. The survivors are rescued by two young and
ambitious noblemen in the service of King Edward the Fourth, Sir
Alan Sanford, and his close friend, Sir John du Fay. Sir Alan is
determined to marry a wealthy noblewoman but his heart decrees
otherwise. Captivated by the beautiful herbalist, he fights his
attraction to her and loses. She is at his side throughout King
Edward s fight for the throne. Yet Alan s ambition gets in the way.
Knowing this, Jane, in spite of her love for him, lets him go, and
pursues her chosen profession: healing. Alan takes control of vast
lands in the north, and they part for several years. Until King
Edward dies and leaves his son, a mere boy of thirteen, to inherit
the throne surrounded by enemies. Their mutual concern for the lad
and his younger brother brings Jane and Alan together again. But
will they be able to save the boys and still find love once more?
