1469. For almost ten years, Edward IV has ruled with the Earl of Warwick's support, but now rebellion threatens the fragile peace. Heiress Isobel Fenton is determined not to be separated from her beloved manor of Beaumancote. But as unseen witness to a summary execution, she is propelled into the world of personal feud and national politics. She's left in the protection of the formidable Earl, who has begun to foment rebellion, but is set to marry his enemy's heir, Thomas Lacey. Isolated and alone, Isobel turns to the Earl?'s brother, Robert Langton, and as unrest boils into war, she is drawn into the very heart of the conflict. Facing extremes of courage and moral ambiguity, Isobel must predict the motivations of those who decide her fate. Caught between two men and a lie, with nothing left to lose, which way will she turn?
