Find happiness with the soaring eagle in the Place of the Winds. Beware the dark sun. Lady Blythe Devereux has always loved Roger Debrett, the Earl of Eden, Queen Elizabeth's soaring eagle. Blythe knows with her druid's instinct that they are meant to be together. And fate will prove her right, if only she can make Roger see the truth. Fate deals Roger a cruel blow when he's wrongly accused of murder. In order to secure his freedom so that he can uncover the truth, Roger is forced to marry Blythe, the beloved daughter of one of England's most powerful and favored men, Richard Devereux, the Earl of Basildon. With his heart hardened against love, Roger tries to see Blythe as the young girl he'd known years earlier, but her seductive beauty, warmth, and charm, entice him at every turn. And when an unseen killer stalks them through the halls of Hampton Court Palace, Roger must do more than catch a killer. He must protect his heart's desire.
