Eloise Emeron, though born a noble, has lost her family and possessions due to the civil war in Normandy, and now works as a musician in the house of Lord Gilbert Helias. Richard de Sable, newly returned from the Crusades and on a secret mission for his liege lord learns of her Norman background and makes assumptions about her political loyalties. It is almost too late that he learns the harsh lessons Eloise has already been taught about loyalty and the qualities required in a ruler.
