The English Civil War has hardened the divisions within the Rivers family. Rejected by his former commander, Tom returns to the Parliamentarian cause and attracts the attention of Captain Crafte, a spymaster who sees value in his recklessness. Edmund, grief-stricken by his father’s death, rejects negotiations between Parliament and the King and leads a Royalist band against rebel forces before Prince Rupert offers him a larger role in the war.

Bess Rivers leaves her newborn son and Sheer House in the hope of bringing her brothers back together, but each has become committed to a cause and a form of violence the other cannot accept. Espionage, irregular warfare and personal vengeance extend the conflict beyond set battles. The novel continues the family saga by asking whether kinship can survive when grief has made compromise resemble betrayal.
