Scotland, 1437. James I has been assassinated, and his six-year-old son inherits a crown surrounded by armed factions. Queen Joan Beaufort attempts to retain control of the child, while the chancellor and the Douglas family seek possession of the king and the authority exercised in his name.

Sir Patrick Gray, inexperienced Master of the King’s Guard, is responsible for protecting James II in a court where every transfer of custody can become a coup. His loyalties are tested by rival claims of legality and necessity as the danger of civil war turns the young king’s household into the centre of Scotland’s political struggle.
