This fast paced romantic adventure is set in autumn, 1448, at England’s Applewood horse faire in Somerset. Noblemen and traveling Gypsies alike have gathered to buy and sell their finest stallions. The midnight peace is shattered when monastic knight invade the camp to reclaim a treasured chalice stolen by a Gypsy.

In the midst of the turmoil, the beautiful half-Gypsy, Kadriya, yearns for true love. Rasied by English nobility, she has passed the threshold of womanhood. Spurned for her mixed blood, she is now twenty and longs for acceptance. With one foot planted firmly in each of her ethnic shorelines, Kadriya struggles to find her place in the world. Teraf, an impetuous Gypsy Tribal king of surpassing charm, proposes she choose her Romani legacy.  When Kadriya agrees, she starts a wild journey through danger and disappointment that will challenge her loyalties, test her courage and mold her character.
