In 1483, the illegitimate Jack Wynter is stranded in Seville with a locked box entrusted to him by his father. News of his father’s arrest for treason sends him back to England just as Edward IV dies and the twelve-year-old Edward V is expected to inherit. Richard, Duke of Gloucester, assumes the protectorship, while Jack’s legitimate half-brother Harry Vaughan sees the family crisis as an opportunity to displace the bastard who has always received their father’s confidence.

The disappearance of Edward V and his brother, Richard’s coronation as Richard III and Henry Tudor’s challenge draw the brothers into the final phase of the Wars of the Roses. At the centre of their rivalry is a map connected to knowledge extending beyond Europe’s accepted geography. Jack must discover why his father died protecting it as the dynastic struggle moves towards Bosworth and a new royal house.
