In the year recorded in the Saxon chronicles as 449 AD, sixteen-year-old Prince Tryffin leads a band of warriors home after their first battle with the Saxons. They are filled with blood lust when Saxons (ten-year-old Aelfrida, her mother, and father) cross their path. The band slays her parents and she takes to the woods. When they meet again, seven years later, Tryffin's guilt turns to love for the silvery-haired beauty. Then Aelfrida's foster father attacks the prince. Tryffin spares the man's life for Aelfrida's hand in marriage. When she marries Tryffin to save her foster father's life, her plans to avenge her mother and father must be delayed. As her trust for Tryffin builds, Aelfrida must choose again and again between vengeance or love.
