Decreed by the king, a fierce Norman conqueror must win the heart of a proud Saxon lady.

Returning home triumphant from the Crusades, Dominic le Sabre is determined to claim the bride promised to him by the king, but the high-born Celtic beauty is equally determined to resist him.

The formidable warrior rides under no banner, clad in blackened mail, as he comes to northern England to secure Blackthorne Keep. Dominic is resolved to secure the proud fortress and the heirs he craves, but Margaret of Blackthorne will yield neither her heart nor her ancient people to an unwelcome conqueror.

Fierce in his discipline, the new lord offers peace at sword-point, yet the spirited mistress of the keep answers every demand with proud defiance.
