  Chapter One
  
  The winter had been harsh; all the food they had harvested was gone before the
  siege was even over and many were starving. Even that lady of the castle
  herself was starving for food because she gave most of hers away to the
  children.
  
  This had been the fault of the Normans, who had come crawling across the land
  to conquer that what was never meant to be theirs. Lady Darcee of Castle
  Blackmoor was angry and it was that anger that had kept her people alive these
  last six months, but now they had only one of two choices left to them.
  
  Give in to the Norman bastards or starve to death.
