In this lively novella, an unknown knight charges to the rescue of Lady Joanna as a band of thieves attacks her escort. When she offers him her heartfelt thanks, he lifts his visor and identifies himself as Ivo, the unprincipled rogue who left on Crusade years ago and has long been thought dead! Except Ivo turns out not to be as black as Lady Joanna's dead husband had always painted him - until he proceeds to turns Joanna's carefully ordered world upside down!
