Förlagets beskrivning
How do you overcome the loathing, lust and bitterness threatening you and your family's honour? It's 1363, and in Steyning Castle, Sussex, Dickon de Bohun is enjoying life as a squire in the household of Earl Raoul de Fougre. Or he would be, if it weren't for Edwin de Courtenay, who's making his life a misery with his bullying, threatening to expose the truth about Dickon's birth. At home in Meonbridge for Christmas, Dickon notices how grown-up his childhood playmate, Libby Fletcher, has become since he last saw her and feels the stirrings of desire. Libby, seeing how different he is too, falls instantly in love. But as a servant to Dickon's grandmother, Lady Margaret de Bohun, she could surely never be his wife. Margery Tyler, Libby's aunt, meeting her niece by chance, learns of her passion for young Dickon. Their conversation rekindles Margery's long-held rancour against the de Bohuns, whom she blames for all the ills that befell her family, including her own servitude. For years she's hidden her hunger for revenge, but she can no longer keep her hostility in check. As the future Lord of Meonbridge, Dickon knows he must rise above de Courtenay's loathing and intimidation, and get the better of him. And, surely, he must master his lust for Libby, so his own mother's shocking history is not repeated? Of Margery's bitterness, however, he has yet to learn... Beset by the hazards triggered by such powerful and dangerous emotions , can Dickon summon up the courage and resolve to overcome them? Secrets, hatred and betrayal, but also love and courage - Squire's Hazard, the fifth MEONBRIDGE CHRONICLE
