In this tale of forbidden medieval romance, the formidable knight Sir Kaelen is torn between his cold, grand vow to the King and his deep, transformative love for Lyra, a humble castle woman and healer. As Kaelen prepares to ride forth and marry the Duchess promised to him, Lyra makes the ultimate sacrifice: she refuses to let him break his political duty and tear the realm apart. Their scandalous love becomes a "secret on this stage," a powerful, hidden truth symbolized by a simple moonstone ring. It is a story of how a knight rides for duty with a lion on his shield, but fights for the grace and eternity he built with Lyra in their stolen, twilight place.
