BLURB
I am Lady Elena… or perhaps I should call myself the spare princess? Either way, I prefer to be addressed as "Lady." While living quietly with my father in King Harold's palace—my father's cousin—I had no remarkable story to tell.
There was a war.
Yet within the palace walls, we were untouched by it. My father opposed the fighting, but they claimed the borders had to be defended against the Scots.
My story began the day I was given away to a ruthless Scot as a war prize… all in the name of peace. I was eighteen when I crossed into Scottish lands, unaware of what awaited me there.
