Wishing Shelf Awards - FINALIST

A healer on the run. A rebel knight after her heart. Will she betray him to save the England she loves?

Eighteen-year-old healer Aliwyn lives in shame after her medical failures. Despite a rebellion brewing against William the Conqueror, she yearns to practice medicine in peace.

But when she agrees to hide an endangered orphan, Aliwyn is plunged into the deadly revolt. A daring escape entangles her with the young rebel leader, Tobias, and she is swept into a world of rival factions and secret alliances. Caught in the heart of the enemy's ship, she must decide who to save. Worst of all, Tobias' compassionate nature turns her perceptions of the insurgents upside down.

As she unravels the fiery secret that could destroy England, Aliwyn is challenged to take fate into her own hands. Will she rise to fight for the kingdom she loves? And can she resist the magnetic charms of the man she’s vowed to defeat?
