The King's jewel / Elizabeth Chadwick.
After her father is killed, Nesta, daughter of Prince Rhys of Deheubarth, is taken as a concubine by King William's ruthless younger brother Henry, who later ascends the throne under suspicious circumstances. Gerald FitzWalter, an ambitious young knight is rewarded for his loyalty to his new King with Nesta's hand in marriage. But Nesta's only comfort is her return to Wales where she cannot help but be tempted by the handsome son of the Welsh prince, Owain. When he offers her the chance to join him in his plan to overthrow Norman rule she must choose between her duty and her desire.
