Lord Derryk is in love with the foundling he and King Eirik discovered seventeen years ago. Then, he was but a child. Now, he is ready to court and marry her. Renata, however, believes she doesn’t belong and is unworthy of Derryk’s love. She tries to be a perfect wife, ultimately exhausting herself. When temptation comes in the form of a professed friend, Iollan, she falls for his seductive lies, and betrays Derryk, breaking his heart. Repeatedly, Derryk forgives and tries to draw her back. But Renata doesn’t believe Derryk can truly forgive or love her again. Renata continues be unfaithful, until Derryk signs a divorce. Away from Derryk’s protection, Renata sees the truth about Iollan. At her lowest point, desperate, she returns to Eorden for help. She is offered a hut on the edge of his lands with only basic food to sustain her. But Derryk has vanished and an army bears down on the kingdom. Iollan discovers Renata’s hideout and charges her with many crimes, including murder. Derryk’s servants are distraught, not knowing what to do. The king arrives in time for the trial, where Renata is sentenced to death. At the last minute, Derryk steps out of the crowd and offers to take her punishment. What follows is a public hanging and a turn of events no one expects. Derryk’s love ultimately vanquishes all enemies and wins Renata’s heart forever in beautiful reconciliation.
