Abducted in 14th century Karelia, Selja dreams of escape. But like its protagonist, readers of this captivating story will find it impossible to wrench themselves free before the final page.

But an unexpected skill proves more important. Women do not normally train raptors, but even her lord Mielo cannot deny Selja’s gifts. Unfortunately, Mielo’s son yearns for something completely different from Selja. It’s time to flee, but Selja hesitates, fearing bloodshed. She lives in hope that Sir Aijo will come to claim his eagle and buy her, because the signet ring binds Selja to the knight’s kin…
