York, 1399. The city prepares for conflict after Henry Bolingbroke lands in England to reclaim the inheritance confiscated by Richard II. At the same time Kate Clifford's estranged mother, Eleanor, arrives from Strasbourg after her husband's suspicious death and establishes a house of beguines beside Kate's property.

An intruder attacks one of the religious women, and the murder of Eleanor's servant suggests that whatever frightened her abroad has followed her to York. When a stranger begins questioning Kate's wards, Kate must force her mother to reveal how family secrets, the Strasbourg household and the national political crisis are connected before the violence enters her own home.
