Before Elizabeth von Sarmas came Odile Rheinhart and Marta and Edmund de Sarm . . .
Stone Walls: Marguerite Thomasina Antonia de Sarm’s father and maids trained her for life as wife, mother, and Lady Sarm. Lovely, practical in the extreme, sheltered behind the walls of Sarm Hall, Marta de Sarm harbors no ambitions but many illusions. Her husband’s apparent treachery shatters those illusions, forcing her to take up power in her own name. Can she trust her father’s men when Phillip of Frankonia, richest man in Colplatschki, pounds on the gates?
Custom’s Walls: In the village below the Hall, Odile Rheinhart struggles to find a place in the world. Some villagers call her cursed and whisper about secret sin, others pity her as a pathetic burden. Until the day an accident pulls her out of her sheltered home and into a world she’d never allowed herself to dream of. Do her new ambitions truly reflect Godown’s will?
Sheltering Walls: Two women, very different, both working with their walls. Overlapping duties and fortunes draw Marta and Odile together even as Phillip the Majestic threatens to break their world asunder. Hall and convent, Lady and Sister, Godown’s Grace may provide them strength to retain their freedom. Or destroy all that they hold dear.
