Certain only her silence can save her people from retaliation, she holds close the dark truth about his death.

And expose the innocent heart beneath her Saxon pride.UNFORGIVENRenouncing his holy vows, Maxen Pendery pledges to discover who murdered his brother--even at the cost of the soul he has wrestled to save since thrusting his sword in the blood-soaked soil of Hastings and walking away.
