Mary's spartan upbringing and rigorous training have honed her for a single mission - to shield Erik from harm. His mother, Lady Cartwright, devised this final safety net before illness took her life. The Lady had no doubt that Erik's devious fiancee, Lynessa, would gleefully plan and execute her son's death. The only question was when. Erik seems oblivious to the threat barreling down at him. Despite his years of service in the Crusades, and his intimate experience with dangers beyond reckoning, he still resolutely trusts in the woman he vowed to honor. Even when the proof seems incontrovertible that Lynessa is scheming his destruction, he determinedly holds out hope for her innocence. When Lynessa springs her fatal trap, Mary desperately races to intervene. Mary's love for Erik melds with her duty to protect him at all costs. Her every ounce of focus is on unraveling the twisted strands which bind him before they drag Erik to a brutal, tortured death.
