| Plot Summary of An Earthly Knight |
|---|
"Sixteen-year-old Lady Jeanette Avenel, called Jenny, is the younger daughter of a minor Norman nobleman. Because of this, she has enjoyed relative freedom while growing up on her family's estate in Scotland. But now that her sister has been disgraced, everything has changed. Suddenly, Jenny finds herself thrust into the role usually belonging to the eldest daughter, and is chosen as a potential bride for William de Warenne, the king's younger brother and heir. In spite of her upbringing, however, Jenny wonders what it might be like if she could choose her own husband, someone she loved. When she meets Tam Lin, a young man who is rumored to have been kidnapped by fairies, she learns what it is like to be in love."
