'You have destroyed yourself for ever. Feared and hated by friend and foe. The King's General in the West. The man I love.'
On her eighteenth birthday, Honor Harris meets Sir Richard Grenvile - proud, reckless, and utterly captivating - and the pair are drawn irresistibly together. But days before their wedding, a tragic accident leaves Honor partly paralysed, and she reconciles herself to a life alone.
Fifteen years later, with the country in turmoil, Honor and Richard meet again. Honor is sheltering with her sister at her Cornish estate, while Richard has risen to become a general in the king's army. With old passions rekindled, Honor must draw on her courage to defend her country and save Richard's life - at any cost.

Margaret Forster
No other popular writer has so triumphantly defied classification . . . She satisfied all the questionable criteria of popular fiction, and yet satisfied the exacting requirements of "real literature", something very few novelists ever do

She wrote exciting plots, she was highly skilled at arousing suspense, and she was, too, a writer of fearless originality
- Kirkus Reviews
Fascinating historical romance, set in the period of England's Civil Wars, when Charles was still stubbornly standing out against parliament
