A lost princess caught between vows and rebellion

Raised in an abbey, Maribel has shaped her future around becoming a nun and practicing healing. The revelation that she is a lost princess overturns that quiet life, as King Ethelwulf’s forces threaten the abbey and she escapes with Edmund Chambers toward a rebel army. Edmund, who has lived at the abbey since surviving the king’s attack on his family, brings a connection to animals and a personal stake in Maribel’s choices. The journey across the Highlands links a royal identity, a growing rebellion, and a conflict between religious vocation and romantic possibility. The book is a young adult Christian historical novel.

Book overview

A second princess. Another key to the treasure. And a cruel king desperate to squelch the growing rebellion.

Raised in an isolated abbey, Lady Maribel desires nothing more than to become a nun and continue practicing her healing arts. She's carefree and happy with her life...until a visitor comes to the abbey and reveals her true identity as one of the lost princesses.

When he was a young boy, Edmund Chambers helplessly watched King Ethelwulf murder his family. Edmund escaped and has lived in the abbey ever since, uniquely trained to work with wild animals. Secretly, he loves Maribel and desperately hopes she doesn't complete her holy order vows.

When King Ethelwulf's army arrives at the abbey to capture Maribel, she flees with Edmund across the desolate Highlands in an attempt to reach Adelaide's rebel army. Edmund can no longer hide his love, but can Maribel give up her dreams of becoming a nun to love him in return?
