"Alwyn is forced to marry Fulk, after the king kills her father for being a traitor, and gives the Baroncy and castle Morlaix to Fulk. He is a knight at heart and is rarely at home. He also doesn't believe the child Alwyn has is his. He distrust her but can't get enough of her. After he is held as a captive by Alwyn's cousin, whom says he loves, he gets ransomed and she pays for him with everything Morlaix has. She also defends the castle from the Earl of Chester while he is gone. Then he finally comes home and drives off the Earl of Chester's men. After much war he finally realizes his feeling for her and her for him. He also realises the baby is his. "
