What is the book about?
She is a great heiress; he is the wickedest man in Normandy.
Known to men far and wide as ‘The Devil’, Robert de Belleme terrorises France alongside his equally fearsome mother, Mabel the Poisoner. But even a Devil needs an heir, and Mabel chooses the wealthy heiress Agnes of Ponthieu to be her son’s bride. The marriage is unhappy, though the longed-for son and heir is eventually born…but when Robert is away on one of his military campaigns, Agnes flees back to her father’s castle.
She is not safe; her young son William is not safe.
The Devil will seek to claim his own.
