Mistress Glenys Seymour comes from an odd family full of uncles who have mysterious powers and trinkets that bemuse and confuse her medieval contemporaries. Gentlemanly scoundrel Kieran Fitzallen has been paid to take her away, so the Greth Stone, a mysterious family heirloom, can fall into enemy hands. Will Glenys escape from Kieran, or will she even want to? He may not be the knave she first thought he was.
The Greth Stone is almost in hand! Glenys and Kieran have now teamed up to restore property and honor to Glenys's family. When the dust settles, will the only ring on hand be the stone of legend, or does Kieran have something to ask Glenys? He might not have time to ask, though, because as much as he helps save the day, the gallows await all knaves...
