Damned by leprosy, Richard FitzEustace must leave his home and family forever. Condemned to shun the company of others he seeks a place of solitude where he can find forgiveness for sins committed in the Holy Land. One more family obligation remains: a secret promise to his grandmother that he will seek out her kinsman, Sir Robert de Lcy, and press her claim to his estate. Meanwhile, headstrong young Johanna FitzEustace, is distraught. With Richard gone the other brother, ruthless and ambitious Roger, becomes head of the family. A marriage is contrived for her to a wealthy old landowner, and without Richard's protection there seems little she can do about it - unless she can escape and find him wherever he may be.

"Intriguing insight into the life of a leper who is ostracised from society and seeking redemption. The period detail is fascinating, with interesting characters." — Phillipa (5 out of 5 stars)
"Intriguing insight into the life of a leper who is ostracised from society and seeking redemption. The period detail is fascinating, with interesting characters."
" A really really good read. This book starts off quite sad with the characters and ends up totally turning around and has a happy ending. "
" Perhaps not as promising as I had hoped. More teenage esque than historical action. Still a good read though. "
" One of the best historical novels I've read in a long while. If you like Elizabeth Chadwick's novels, you'll love The de Lacy Inheritance. "
" A fun little historical novel. "
