Knight's Pledge

The destiny of three proud sonsand one courageous daughterof a notorious criminal is revealed at last in medieval Scotland. The evil legacy of a cursed Northumberland manor ensnares Effie Annesley when her young son is kidnapped from ravaged Darlyrede House. To save him, Effie must fulfill a King's decree: bring in her fugitive father, Thomas Annesley, to face execution for his alleged crimes. It's a search fraught with emotion as Effie races to Scotland, homeland of her warrior half-brothers, accompanied by a colorful band of thievesand one determined knight . . . Sir Lucan Montague has never been closer to delivering Annesley and reclaiming his inheritance. But his victory turns hollow as he comes to see strong, resilient Effie for who she truly isand as distrust turns to healing passion. Returning to court to make the ultimate sacrifice, will love and loyalty conquer a maze of lies and treachery that threatens to destroy them all?
