Publisher's Synopsis
BACK FROM THE CRUSADES
Count Herbert von Schonburg fought bravely for the Crusader cause against the Saracens in the lands of Palestine. But when the German lord returned to his castle upon word that his father had died, he found it captured by a neighbor -- and found himself thrust into a prison.
But the daughter of the Countess who had imprisoned him -- Beatrix -- was a beauty who softened the Count's fierceness. They fell in love, and the Count was freed to take his rightful place to bring justice and peace back to his beautiful land by the Rhine.
But a warlike Baron threatens that peace. When he is defeated and his castle burns, the Baron becomes a ruthless outlaw.
For his land, his love, and his life -- the Count must battle this evil in the forest.
