About this book
On the cliffs at Hastyngs, a father's marriage plans set Rowena's love for Sir Harold Wynn against the demands of Sir Guy de Warre. Her father insists on Sir Ralph of Normanhurst as a husband, while Harold hopes to win approval through service in the Holy Land. William Stephen Pryer tells this conflict in rhymed verse, surrounding the lovers with towers, dangerous seas and the pressures of family pride.
Rowena's nightly lamp guides sailors, and her songs give the coastal setting an intimate voice. At Acre, Harold depends on the care of a young woman who tends his wounds. The middle passage follows Rowena's page Eric through confinement, an escape route and unexpected help from a smuggler. Prayer and visions connect these scenes of danger with loyalty and hope.
