She lives a peaceful life, until her home is attacked and she is taken captive by a brawny knight with russet hair and amber eyes.

But there is a man after Roselyn who will not easily give her up. With forces working against them, Roselyn and Dain must evade betrayal and death by execution. Will their love be given the chance to grow or will their enemies tear them apart?
