1999 Little Brown hardcover, Elizabeth Chadwick (The Autumn Throne: A Novel of Eleanor of Aquitaine). Unwanted and unloved, Miriel Weaver finds herself forced into a closed convent by her violent stepfather. Outside, the civil war of 1216 rages through the English countryside, throwing into jeopardy all that its people hold dear. As the turmoil outside reaches a peak, Miriel itches to break free from her life inside as a religious novice. She plots to escape but her plans screech to a halt when a soldier of fortune, a half-dead Nicholas de Caen appears at the convent door. - Goodreads

From AudioFile:
Miriel Weaver's stepfather has sent his independent-minded and high-spirited daughter to a nunnery to "curb her spirit." There she rescues half-drowned, exhausted Nicholas de Caen, the only survivor of King John's supply train, which vanished in quicksand in 1216. Both escape the nunnery but then part unpleasantly. Gerri Halligan imbues Miriel and Nicholas with steadfast and determined spirits that carry the story from adventure to adventure. As the characters mature, they meet again, Nicholas an established trader and Miriel an accomplished wool merchant. When sparks fly between them, Halligan's enthusiastic narration keeps the historical and love themes humming. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
