Though he'd been raised by the League of the Blade as an experiment, Adam Hilliard does not regret his solitary and restricted childhood. He's honored by the League's trust in him, yet he has one personal mission of vengeance before he reveals himself as the long-lost earl: he wants vengeance against the man who killed his parents. But when the villain ignores his challenge, Adam kidnaps his daughter, hoping to force his hand. Once Florrie realizes that Adam is too honorable to harm her, she's thrilled to be on the first adventure of her life, although doesn't let Adam know this at first. She is the 'Cinderella' of the villain's daughters, youngest, plainest, and with a limp. During their travel across England, she vows to save his soul by making sure he doesn't kill her father.
