Alfled's tranquil world is abruptly shattered by the Norman invasion. In the wake of the Norman victory her house and lands are handed over to a detestable Norman, Rolf Le Blond, and Alfled finds herself alone and unprotected. Determined to survive, she disguises herself as her dead brother Alfred. Convinced the Norman seigneur will never realize he has been fooled, Alfled walks a dangerous line. "Alfled played the boy but could not forget she had the heart and soul of a woman."
