Publisher's Synopsis
Sir Hugo Beauford had no idea what to expect when the king summoned him from Calais, away from the battles securing the French throne for their English king. A quest to find Earl Chanderling's wayward daughter was not something he wanted, but being a knight in the king's service, he was duty-bound to fulfill his king's wishes - even if the bothersome girl he remembered had last been heard of in Venice. He'd never had plans to travel as far east as Venice, let alone much farther as this quest took more effort than he could have imagined - including dragging an unwilling and continuously challenging young woman across the known world.
