:
In the sequel to Falcon’s Fire, celibate priest and Oxford scholar Rainulf Fairfax finds himself drawn to a humbly born young woman after he rescues from her vicious overlord.
Rainulf Fairfax meets Constance of Cuxham, beautiful but coming down with the deadly pox. He sets aside his own worries–a struggle with faith and whether he should leave the priesthood–as he tries to save Constance. She’s clever, attractive and he feels stirrings that add to his indecision. He does what little he can to combat the pox, then returns to Oxford feeling she will recover.
He is heart broken to learn she has died. But Constance, alive, shows up in Oxford disguised as a man named Corliss and on the run to save her freedom.
