A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Sybilla de Saint-Valery, the daughter of a nobleman and soldier, has been staying with relatives in the castle of the Duke of Normandy. When news of an imminent English attack reaches the castle, Sybilla must undertake a dangerous journey home to her mother and the family estate. But these are treacherous times to be on the road. En route, she is kidnapped by her father's enemies, who demand that Sybilia's mother hand over the deeds to the Saint-Valery estate in exchange for her daughter's safe return. With only her faithful hound, Hannibal, and falcon, Merlin, to help her, can Sybilla escape her captors and reach Saint-Valery before her ancestral home is lost? Set in eleventh-century Normandy, this adventure novel is an intriguing glimpse of the life of a young noblewoman in the early Middle Ages.
