| The son of a
French crusader and Byzantine princess, Christian traveled
extensively in his youth. After his parents died when he was
just a boy, he was raised in the monastery his parents had
endowed. Because of his intelligence, keen insights and
willingness to help those imprisoned with him, he was dubbed the Abbot.
He is quiet and
reflective, but deadly with a sword. He is a man of action
and will not allow himself to be hemmed in. Because of that,
he refuses to return to his homeland and spends his life on the road,
traveling.
Most people think he is a
monk, until they catch sight of the mail and spurs he wears
beneath his robes. After losing all faith in the world, he
is a restless, lonely spirit who is searching for a peace of
mind that continues to elude him.

Now a bold and beautiful stranger has appeared in his rooms, tempting him with an irresistible seduction and demanding he accompany her back to their kingdoms... or at the very least, provide her with an heir to her throne. Though he cannot abandon the brave, regal lady to her enemies, Christian dares not give in to his traitorous body’s desires. Yet how can he deny the passion that is rightfully his and the ecstasy that awaits him in Adara’s kiss?
