Translation by basilevs and Margo on lady.webnice. There were rumors that Rhys Foko allegedly killed his own wife and child. However, his infamy became even worse when he was accused of the brutal murder of an English peer. And now he was already shackled and appeared before King Stephen. The king, who once favored Foco, decides to give him the opportunity to prove his innocence of the latest dirty charge. Rhys has one month to clear himself of the murder of Guillaume du Pré, or he will be executed for the crime. Lady Lyonesse Tanier was betrothed to Guillaume du Pré, and, unlike many heroines of novels, she is actually sure of the feelings for her on the part of her dead groom, who was her childhood friend. She wants revenge on the man responsible for his death, so, hearing that the terrible Foko has appeared somewhere nearby, she and her people kidnap him and imprison him in the castle of Tanier. At first, she intends to simply kill him - an eye for an eye - but after meeting the so-called devil, noticing glimpses of honesty in him, she becomes curious if there is some truth to the claims about his innocence. These two are attracted to each other at first sight, and the attraction soon turns into deeper feelings. Their passion blossoms as they try to find Guillaume's true killer, and they make new and deadly enemies. This is a superb medieval romance full of wit, adventure and sensuality.
