"He must not find me," she whispered to herself. Her thoughts moved through a hundred terrifying memories and the work she had done to hide. The struggles she had been through. The humiliation. "Ah, really now? And how much is not finding you worth?" Lady Eleanor de Levan fled her husband on her wedding night. For years she has been running, leaving her country, giving up her titles, and even changing her name. Finally, in 1196, she is content working as a maid in an English castle.

Her abusive husband and manipulative uncle are going to find her. Does Eleanor have the strength to face her past? And for all the courage she must find, will she find the courage to love?
