Richard and Jack return from Europe carrying obligations to the Knights of St John and hoping to free Lizbet and the men held on Malta. Andrew Kineer is travelling towards England with plans of his own, and the brothers must reach home before he can convert their absence into a new agreement with the Order or their enemies.

England has entered war against France as Philip of Spain draws money and military support from Mary I’s realm. Mary’s health is failing, Elizabeth’s household remains under pressure and Catherine understands that her own security now depends on the princess’s survival. The Fitzwarren family conflict becomes inseparable from a government strained by continental war, the loss of Calais and uncertainty over who will follow Mary.
