Five years after the northern campaign, Thomas and Katherine have built a household at Marton and are raising their son. Their peace depends on a hidden ledger that could damage Edward IV’s legitimacy, and it ends when Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick, turns against the king and agents on both sides begin searching for the evidence.

The rebellion of 1469 draws Thomas into reconnaissance and Katherine back into the dangerous work of surgery and concealment. As Warwick allies with George, Duke of Clarence, and the royal army is defeated at Edgcote, the Everinghams are caught between obligations to powerful patrons and the need to protect their family. The novel presents political conspiracy through people who can see armies moving but rarely know who commands them or why.
