Alys's husband died in the Crusades and now she is desperate to find a new husband to support her family. She isn't holding out much hope for her two eldest children: Merek is a squire and hoping to become a knight like his father was, but by using his spellcaster abilities (also inherited from dad) to cheat his way to the top; Millicent is beautiful but lacks the elegance needed to impress as a lady. Can her youngest son, Carac, be moulded into the successful heir she needs? #GBSC
