Astride
a stolen horse, encircled by the shackled arms of Broderick
Maxwell, a Scottish spy escaping certain death in the Tower
of London, Lizbeth Ives rides to the north, hidden by the merciful
darkness. By stealth and by cunning, the daughter of the Lord
High Executioner has undone her father’s cruel work, compelled
to save the innocent man with her. There is no turning back—they
are bound as one in his iron chains. Consumed by mortal fear,
driven by passion, they disappear into the night…
A
single raven follows them. Is it an omen? Or only the first
of those who would capture them? They must ride on. If captured,
they will face death together. But if they reach Scotland, he
will claim her for his own…forever.
