I liked this story for the most part. I did find the stilted dialogue a bit tedious after a while, but overall the story was entertaining and a worthwhile book to read.
In the 13th century England, Hastings must be married before her father dies, and theives and murderers descend upon her home to try to capture her, and her holdings. Graelam de Moreton recommends Severin of Langthorne as husband for Hastings, and her father agrees. Within two hours she is wed, and her father has died.
