Roselyn
has always lived in the shadow of her beautiful sister, Guineveve and that seems
destined to remain unchanged when the handsome prince, Michael, whisks Guineveve
off to his castle as his bride. For even though she and her mother are invited
to live at the castle, Guineveve seems bent on making them feel like inferiors.
But Roselyn's friendship with two appealing male servants brings a glint of hope into her dismal life. In their companionship she realizes that not all men want spoiled, pretentious beauties like Guineveve. And when the three companions venture to a forbidden fair in the next kingdom Roselyn finds her fate entwined with that of the mysterious Mummer King.. the man who has prayed and waited for the wild rose he can claim and tame as his very own.
