This story is set in the year 1175.
Matthew de Rowenne is a second son, so he has to make his living with his sword. He has been sent back to the Scottish borders to help control the rebels. He was hoping to be rewarded with some land or maybe a knighthood.
Brigandine Lordsmith has lived as a boy all her life. It was easier to help her father in his forge. Now an army has come to the area it is safer to stay a lad.
This is a marvellous book. Our heroine is so different to the norm. She is uneducated, her hair is chopped off and she works hard enough to have muscles. As she has always pretended to be a boy , she is not afraid to speak her mind.
Our hero believes he is cursed. The talisman that passes to the all the second sons seems to bring death to their wives.
I loved every page, I read it in just a few hours because I couldn't put it down.
