It is 1192 and the orphaned Lady Judith of Claverham has joined the Third Crusade in a desperate search for her only brother Edwin. What hope has a lone woman against the Saracen hordes? Soon after landing in the Holy Land she is captured by a band of marauding soldiers and only the intervention of King Richard's handsome knight, Geoffrey de Belgarde, saves her from the harem of the Saracen Prince Hasan. Then through her own folly she endangers the life of Sir Geoffrey and, to save him from certain death at the hands of the Turks, Lady Judith is forced to become his wife — she who has sworn she would rather marry a serpent than anyone bearing the name of de Belgarde.
