The Miller's Daughter

A mother's sin. A daughter's secret.

A young girl, abandoned by her mother

A Lord's second son, under the thumb of his elder brother

A notorious outlaw, trying to forget his past

A beautiful captive, betrayed by her father

Two timelines, years apart, tell their tale. Come along on their desperate journey.

When Lisi flees a 14th century convent in search of the mother who mysteriously abandoned her years before, she finds Katherine, a prostitute, on her deathbed.

Now orphaned, Lisi is taken in by a local miller's wife who tells no one of her identity or secrets. Lisi soon befriends Rayner, a Lord's son who attempts to break through her hardened exterior. But his twisted twin threatens to destroy any hope for their future.

The mysteries of Lisi's past are gradually revealed when readers discover her mother was sold to an outlaw. The outlaw Wolf takes Katherine to his hidden camp where his impulse to buy her threatens to destroy the life he carefully built to hide his past and deaden his heart. Katherine concocts a bold plan to escape, but when she learns the outlaw is in danger, will she risk everything to save him?

The Miller's Daughter creates a puzzle of discovery where love is won and lost, villains wreak havoc, and a stolen legacy waits to be reclaimed. Joy Corwin crafts an intimate, authentic, and often haunting exploration of bloodlines, betrayal, and the enduring power of a mother's love.
