Come back to England in the year 1277 and meet Hastings of Trent and Severin of Langthorne, two strangers joined in marriage.

It is Severin’s duty to sire children, bring new blood to the line, and keep Oxborough powerful.
 
Hastings thinks he’s cold-blooded, severe, and merciless. Severin doesn’t smile; he looks capable of cruelty, and he inspires fear. As for her, Severin believes she should be obedient, submissive, and malleable. She should speak softly and do whatever he wants, immediately. Both are in for a surprise as Hastings uncovers the mystery surrounding his secluded estate of Rosehaven.
