Novgorod princess Ulyana Romanova miraculously escaped death and left her homeland with a gypsy camp. She spent five years wandering and reached England in the hope of the intercession and help of the English king. But due to the cruel whim of the monarch, Juliana became the wife of the proud and reserved Stephen de Lasse, Baron Wimberley, who did not at all want a marriage with a strange gypsy who calls herself a noble Russian lady. Life with Stephen, their strange formal marriage turned Juliana’s soul upside down and confronted her with a difficult choice: memory of the past, fair retribution for the murderers of her relatives, or a timid hope of happiness with the unapproachable Stephen.
