A 14th century love story set among the rugged hills of Northern England. Forced into service at Glendennan Castle, Isobel is a young, destitute widow with an uncertain future. Under the threat of debtor’s prison, she must await the return of her liege-lord in order to learn of her fate. Robert Montgomery, having served his time on the battlefields of France, is eager to return to England and his beloved Glendennan. As thanks for his loyalty to the crown, he's granted the hand of a wealthy baron's daughter. The girl is, by all accounts, a maiden of great beauty. Before Robert leaves for England, the betrothal is finalized and the marriage date set. His future seems certain ... until he meets Isobel.
