Anything that starts "Come forth, you cocksucking spawn of satan." has got to be a good book!
In typical Medieval fashion, Elyssa (no last name) has been forced to wed two older men, one right after the other. When the second is killed while hunting boor (where the quote came from), she is remanded to the Sheriff who gets stuck with all pregnant widows until birth, then they are thrown back into the wind.
The sheriff, Geoffrey is a soft-hearted man pretending to be the devil incarnate in order to protect his silent, grief-stricken daughter. However, Elyssa sees right through him and even though he has taken her young sickly son from her and fostered him elsewhere, she finds herself for the first time, falling in love. But she's been married twice and has finally gained her freedom, so she fights the attraction with all she has.
It's definitely a test of wills and might. It isn't until disaster strikes that Elyssa realizes that love trumps all.
A marvelous book with a disfigured hero and a very strong-willed heroine in a time where women were chattel.
