    About this ebook

    The castle assaulted, her body claimed.

    The Knight:
    Fierce and ambitious, Derum Sargianus wields a great power in both arm and sword. He is a warrior loved by his men, and a savage feared by women.

    The Maid:
    Young and innocent, Lady Maris is naïve of the brutal world of men — until her father’s castle falls and the halls ring with armor and shield. Her tender nature inclines her to seek out the vulnerable in the man who has claimed her hand.

    Their Love:
    But Sir Sargianus leaves no vulnerability undefended in a world where tenderness reveals weakness. The day of their union draws neigh, and still there exists an impenetrable bulwark between them.

    May Lady Maris foster the intimacy to win her lord over, or will the master of this castle win his lady by force of arms?
