She knew that he and the sinister adviser who was his dark inspiration had sworn to destroy not only Sybilla but also her defenseless young son whom they held as a hostage. Disguised as the lowest of servants, exposed to the scorn of other women and the casual lusts of men, Sybilla-Marie staked her honor and her life on a desperate gamble against evil."
