1228 A.D. - After having a vicious battle with old adversaries that sees his father killed, Sir Dennis d'Vant finds himself the head of the home of d'Vant. A residence descended from the kings of Cornwall, they are really a proud but warring people. Their most hated enemy is their neighbor to the north, the abundant and cunning Earl of Cornwall. Dennis, however, is not like his forefathers; a giant of a guy and an experienced warrior, he's also noiseless and light. He does not possess the same fiery instincts of his family and for that, he's often looked after as vulnerable. But Dennis is anything but weak; he's outstanding and introspective. Dennis is reputable; the earl is not. Little will Dennis recognize that his offer to marry a female of the earl's choosing will change his life more considerably than he could ever picture, and put the House of d'Vant in danger of being wiped from the facial skin of the planet earth. The Lady Ryan de Bretagne is the princess of the earl's captain. Having no daughters himself, the earl chooses Ryan to marry in to the hated House of d'Vant. Ryan is a feisty, head-strong woman and wishes no part of the relationship, but is compelled to wed the huge knight with the mystical gray sight. When he needs her back again to St. Austell Castle, she is created to a stunning new world of women who dress and fight as knights, of filthy preserves and filthy men, and of a people who want to hate her simply because she is related to the Earl of Cornwall. As Ryan struggles to be acclimated to her weird and frightening new world, the Earl of Cornwall works in hidden knowledge to destroy the treaty he has decided to fulfill, thereby reducing the House of d'Vant forever so they can confiscate their lands. In the centre of all of the earl's animosity is an awful solution that binds Cornwall to the House of d'Vant, something so dreadful that it cannot be spoken of. But those who know the trick understand how very shameful it is to both attributes.
