Like her ancestor, Julia was to enraptured to care...In the late 16th century, the Lord of Patarran had defied tradition and fallen in love with Magdalena, a wild and beautiful gypsy. Now, two hundred years later, Julia has fallen in love with Sean, a gypsy who adores her, too. It is a love that will bring them both ecstasy and pain... a love that will take them to the ends of the earth, far from the prejudices of Patarran... a love that will test the courage and devotion of two proud peoples whose fortunes are inescapably liked on the great estate of Patarran...
