Linda Lea Castle – författare

A full-cast production based on the novel by award-winning, bestselling author Linda Lea Castle

The year is 1208, a time when most heiresses do their duty. But not Elsbeth of Camley, for she would rather join a holy order than be bartered off and expected to breed well and often. Elsbeth flees to Lambeth Abbey with her dower coin and unwittingly sets off a chain of events that threatens the balance of power in England.

Because of his bold rescue of the lady and her dower, Sir Roger of Angelsey earns a barony and substantial amounts of land. But he must lose no time in making his betrothed his wife in order to keep his title. It’s not an easy task when the lady conspires with those who plot against his king, and it’s downright impossible when he realizes he does not want a wife unless he can lay claim to her heart.

The legend of the weeping stones is old: they weep only in the presence of one whose destiny is integral to the survival of Scotland. However, there is a sting in the tail of the blessing; whoever is so marked by the stone is fated to love only once, whether it be for good or ill.

Gair witnessed the stone weep when Heather touched it. Now he must decide whether to uphold his oath to protect the Templar Knights’ treasure, or protect at all costs the frail lass who is destined to save his beloved Scotland. With either choice, his soul and his heart are at risk.

Heather knows she is destined to love only once. Now, trussed and kidnapped, she vows never to trust the man who in one breath tries to kill her and in the next vows to keep her safe from harm—even though her heart aches for him to love her.
