In this sequel to The Winter Hare, newly widowed but plucky Lady Edith of Cheswick, fifteen, pilgrimages to Jerusalem in 1144 with a retinue that soon includes a mysterious Welsh girl, Rhiannon. Edith escapes an unwanted suitor and finds personal solace, but forced meetings of historical figures, uneven narration, and abrupt resolutions beget labored reading. A map is included.
