Author K.M. Grant has been praised for her first novel, Blood Red Horse, which was a Book Sense Top Ten Pick. This exciting sequel continues the tale with the de Granville brothers returning from their crusades in the Holy Land. Now, Will journeys to Hartslove to attend his brother's wedding to the beautiful Eleanor de Barre on Valentine's Day in 1193. But the ceremony is violently disrupted by the evil Constable de Scabious claiming that Ellie will be his wife-with blessings from the new king.
