註釋

In the midst of the harsh beauty of Scotland, in the dales, glens, and moors, grew a bloom of incredible loveliness. Eyes the shade of a thistle's bloom, her spirit as unruly as her surroundings,Bryndle of Beckettshamdefies medieval society's demands and decrees. As a young girl, she sought security in herself and her God-not men-after the terrifying attack and near annihilation of her clan. A better marksman than most men, her behavior and activities do not lend themselves to marriage or running a household. While visiting family in Yorkshire, a royal decree is made that all maidens between the ages of fourteen and twenty participate in a royal census-the chosen females to be offered for the royal prince's choosing. Bryndle convinces her family that it is imperative that she be allowed to hide somewhere safe until she turns twenty-one, which is less than a fortnight away. With a foolproof plan in place, Bryndle savors the peaceful solitude of the forest until a mysterious hunter intrudes upon her serenity. Will a chance meeting lead to love? Mistaken identity and a clash of royal wills threaten to topple Bryndle's plan of marrying only for love. Will Bryndle take charge as usual, or will she rest in quiet confidence and allow the Lord to straighten out the royal mess in which she's found herself?
