Damned by leprosy, he must bid his&#160;family a final and sorrowful farewell and leave his estates at Halton Castle forever. Condemned to shun the company of others, he must now find a place of solitude where he can seek forgiveness for sins committed in the Holy Land for which he is certain he has earned God&#8217;s curse. Resolved to live out his life as a hermit, he journeys north into the newly named county of Lancashire. But this is no arbitrary journey; there is one last obligation to be&#160;undertaken for his grandmother&#8212;he must seek out her kinsman, Sir Robert de Lacy, at Cliderhou Castle and there press his consideration of her claim to his estate. While at Halton, Richard&#8217;s headstrong 14-year-old sister Johanna is distraught. Her other brother, ruthless and ambitious Roger, has returned to take his place as head of the family. He and Johanna&#8217;s mother have contrived a marriage for her to a wealthy old landowner, and without Richard&#8217;s protection there seems little she can do about it&#8212;unless of course she can escape and find him. </div></div>
