Scotland, 1424. Sir Law Kintour returns from war wounded, penniless and without a lord. A commission to find a nobleman’s runaway wife appears to offer badly needed employment, and the minstrel Cormac becomes an unexpected companion in tracing her movements.

The search uncovers a dead body, concealed identities and an alliance whose purpose is more dangerous than adultery or family disobedience. In a kingdom adjusting to James I’s return, Law must navigate noble privilege and local authority while discovering why the missing woman’s choices have placed several lives at risk.
