  <default_description>&lt;p&gt;The death of her English father left Francesca alone and unprotected, with nowhere to turn but to the noble Italian family of her late mother. Adrift in a strange land, surrounded by cold and suspicious relatives who had disowned her mother on her wedding day, Francesca is determined to make the best of a bad situation. But nothing could have prepared her for the nest of dark secrets and oppressive cruelty she has been cast into. And her fate now rests in the hands of a mysterious horseman known as the Falcon, whose appearance will speed her salvation ... or hasten her doom.&lt;/p&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This is another one of my favorite Michaels books.  It takes place in Italy and is a very traditional heroic journey, although you don't think it will be at the beginning.  I really loved this book; I was surprised at how good it was.]]></body>
