Dericott Tales, #05

Adopted as a child, Violet Lambton is content with life in her small medieval town with her faith, her books, her baking, and the vivid red cloak her grandmother gifted her. When her grandmother is robbed by the villainous Baron Dunham, she determines to put an end to the evil baron's mistreatment of the hardworking people. Sir Merek, a knight in the service of Baron Dunham, has pledged his life to fighting injustice and defending the weak. When he discovers the depths of the baron's treachery, he realizes that serving his employer is not serving the kingdom. So begins his daring journey to expose the baron's deceitfulness to the king. Violet and Merek must learn to trust each other to expose Dunham's treachery to the king--while succumbing to their growing feelings for each other. -- adapted from jacket
