A thrilling saga unfolds around two star-crossed lovers whose forbidden romance defies the boundaries set by rival kingdoms and the weight of marital obligations. As Britain engages in a fierce conflict with Ireland, English lords and barons endeavor to form an alliance strong enough to dethrone the tyrannical Irish king, Donnchadh. On the pivotal night meant for signing treaties to unite their kingdoms, tragedy strikes when the Irish breach the fortified walls of Castle Tantallion, leaving only a handful of English survivors. Among these few is young Tristan of Eragon, whose life is preserved by the valiant Lord Marke—the lone, promising leader left in Britain.
