Lilies for Love
“It seemed to Janna that the sound held an awful finality. She shuddered as she realised what she had done. True, she'd sought sanctuary at the abbey from those who wished her harm – most especially Robert of Babestoche, whose secret she held close to her heart – but in doing so, she had cut herself off from the world, and from all those whom she'd come to love. But Janna knew she had no choice. While she lived, her knowledge, her very presence threatened Robert's status as the husband of Dame A...lice. There was no place other than the abbey for her to hide in safety.
She looked behind her through the darkness to where Godric still lingered beyond the gate. In the light of the flares that lit the gatehouse, she could read the misery on his face, a misery she was sure was reflected in her own expression. More than anything she wished she was free to follow her chosen path: her quest to find her unknown father and seek justice for the death of her mother. She really didn't want to be trapped here with a convent of women who had given their hearts and minds to the Lord Jesus Christ.MoreLess
