Not only accepted—embraced. Peter is well-loved by everyone, an enormous and powerful knight in the image of his famous sire.<br /> <br /> He is also an Executioner Knight, and one of the very best. A great marriage is expected of him, it is presumed, to the daughter of a high-placed warlord.<br /> <br /> Until he meets Liora ben Thad.<br /> <br /> Petite, raven-haired and blue-eyed, Liora is the exquisite and glamorous daughter of a very prosperous goldsmith. She is also a Jewess, her father being a jeweler to the king. It is a time of great prosperity for the Jews of London, with King John being surprisingly fair to them, far more equitable than to some of his own barons.<br /> <br /> When Peter sees Liora, all other women—and quite possibly his plans for the future—cease to exist.<br /> <br /> But that comes at a price.<br /> <br /> The high-placed warlord and his daughter will not go quietly, and they certainly will not relinquish a prize like Peter de Lohr to a woman of lesser social status. So begins a plot to separate Peter from Liora, a sinister plan that will threaten the House of de Lohr and the Executioner Knights... and everything they believe in.<br /> <br /> One that puts Peter right in the line of fire.<br /> <br /> Will two cultures, and two religions, and a royal order keep Peter and Liora apart?<br /> <br /> Or will their love find a way?<br /> <br /> Watch the Executioner Knights take sides in this delicious—and unusual—love story.</div>
