About the Book

Excerpt: ... free, my delicate bird of prey. Those wild wings were never meant for clipping and caging. Is there anything I can do to please you?" On the instant her enticement shifted; all her being was a tremulous entreaty. "What has come to Master Francois Villon?" "Why do you ask?" "He was with us when we were snared last night. But he did not share our prison and he is not with us now. Does he live?" Villon hesitated for a moment before speaking. "He lives. He is banished from Paris, but he lives."

"You are a merry gentleman." "I would be more gentle than merry with you. Will you wear this ring for my sake? Fancy that it comes from Master Francois Villon, who will always think kindly of your wild eyes." "Let me see your face," she requested, but Villon denied her.
