Savage is one of my most favourite authors out there and I absolutely love her work. This is a period fic and Edward is a knight who marries Bella who is a handmaid. This fic is very angsty so proceed with caution because sometimes the heart ache is too much to bear and there is so much drama. But the story is so good that you just can't stop reading it. The plot is amazing and Savage also got some backlash for some of the plot points but I'm glad she stuck to her storyline and did not compromise it. You will absolutely love Knightward and how his character transforms. Even though Savage said that she isn't going for complete historical accuracy, I say she wrote everything amazingly well. Michael Sheen also read part of this fic when he was asked about fanfictions in one of his interviews :)
