Lance St. Ledger refuses to follow his destiny. The eldest son in the family and heir to Castle Ledger, he returned from the army and intended to continue playing the role of rake and rogue, overcome by a hellish anxiety that could not be calmed. Perhaps the reason is the legacy of the Saint Ledgers - strange powers that manifested themselves in the dubious gift of Lance himself. He calls “night wandering” his ability to separate the soul from the body in order to wander in the night, leaving the flesh. And so, obsessed with finding a magnificent stolen sword - a symbol of the strength of the St. Ledgers, one night he finds it. Rosalind, a young widow living in solitude, passionate about the legends of the Knights of the Round Table, mistakes Lance's "wandering" soul for the ghost of Sir Lancelot . Realizing that she dreams of a hero, the rogue St. Ledger poses as a tragic knight, unaware that this woman is his destiny, his ideal mate.
