Excellent book.
The vale of cedars is a hiding place for those who are persecuted by the Spanish Inquisition. Set in Spain in 1479, Julien and his daughter, Marie, take refuge there. A knight stumbles into the vale and Marie falls in love with him during his furtive visits. But Julien has promised his daughter to his nephew: the young King of Sicily, Ferdinand. Her future is blighted by the dark powerful forces, holders of her closely guarded secret, moving in on her once she has left the vale.
