At fourteen, Simon Beauvallet already possesses an iron will that will define his destiny. Years later, this flaxen-haired warrior towers over medieval battlefields, his sword earning him knighthood, vast lands, and gleaming armor. Yet those closest to him whisper a different name: Simon the Coldheart. His heart remains frozen, untouched by warmth or affection. Then Simon travels to Normandy and encounters Lady Margaret of Belremy, a woman whose fiery spirit matches her reputation as a spitfire. Margaret presents Simon with his greatest challenge, one that cannot be won through strength of arms or tactical brilliance. She alone might possess the power to thaw his icy nature and calm the rage that burns within him.
