Joann Smith Ainsowrth: Out of the Dark January 17, 2010

As a blind woman, seen as a flawed commodity, Lady Lynett is used to the idea that she's unlovable. But her parents' plan to force her into a loveless marriage is too much. Wandering lost in the cellars of the King's castle, the darkness doesn't frighten her, but the murder plot she overhears chills her to the bone.
