Not only was the child not his but she had never known a man. Just as the three men began their journey, a young girl stood bravely before her betrothed husband in Nazareth trying to find the words to tell him that she was pregnant. It was Balthazar, the escaped slave with a wonderful knowledge of languages, who helped them find their way across hazardous and violent country to Judea. Providence took him to the barbarian king, Gaspar, who wanted to know if this great King in the East would be a threat to his empire. But Melchior was old, poor and unwise in the ways of men. He knew at once that it was his task to find the child and warn its parents.
However, that plan backfires when he turns up dead and Sybilla is left to fend for herself and the children.Melchior had never seen anything like it the star was so bright, so full of tragedy and glory. Godfrey decides to build a house with the last of his money before heading off to Spain for a chance at a fortune. She wants a home where she can raise their children as opposed to relying on the charity of their relatives. The story follows Sir Godfrey Tallboys, a knight-errant, who is in need of a house for his pretty young wife, Lady Sybilla. Lofts was also the author of Knight’s Acre. Forces that make a sensible woman be overtaken by irrational feelings she can’t control because of the unspeakable secret kept by the women who had lived at Gad’s Hall more than a century ago. However, there is more to the house than it seems and there are supernatural forces at work. It is a godsend for the family and soon Gad’s Hall comes alive again.
In Gad’s Hall, the Spender family is asked by a kindly man to help protect his ancient, beautifully kept house.
