Summary
1179, Jerusalem.
A forced exchange of vows sets off a chain of events that rewrite everything you think you know about love, duty and virtue.
When your noble family forces you to marry Lord Ancel Castelnau, the staunch supporter and close friend of King Baldwin IV, you feel like your life is ending. You think you're losing more and more autonomy every passing minute, but you're about to learn a hard truth - that you cannot be saved by prayer or knight or king, that only you can save yourself.
And you're about to try, and you will see what remains of you in the end.
(Disclaimer: Reader is written as female for historical accuracy. The story might include pregnancy and childbirth themes later. Anyone comfortable with that is most welcome to read.)
