In the year 1492, in the small kingdom of Scotland, young noblewoman Isabeau Blythe is at last returning to her ancestral home on the Borders. Now sole heir to the estate of Blythe Hall, Isabeau is determined to leave behind her family’s extraordinary past. Their peculiar relations with the fantastical creatures commonly known as angels was the ruin of both Isabeau’s father and brother. Priding herself on her firm grasp on reality, Isabeau is confident she can assume control of Blythe Hall and its people, stave off marriage until the moment it suits her, and bring the turbulent clans of the Borders under control. Yet fate thwarts her even as she enters the imposing gates of Blythe Hall.
Disheartened the castle staff is unaware of her homecoming, Isabeau becomes incensed upon learning that Sir George Douglas, the decorated knight seeking to be the next Lord Blythe, has been tracking her every movement. And then another unexpected guest descends on Blythe Hall: Isabeau’s magnificently flawed and ever beguiling brother. Julius’ sudden appearance is particularly disturbing, for he reveals he’s on the hunt for an angel.
As England and Scotland struggle for dominance, so too do mortal enemies Julius and Sir George. Meanwhile, Isabeau experiences wild visions of a strange man whom her heart inexplicably longs for. With Sir George’s army outside her gates, Isabeau proceeds to summon help from the illusive man of her visions: Gabriel, who holds the secret of Blythe Hall.
