In the autumn of 1483 Richard III is king, but rumours about the disappearance of his nephews have weakened his authority. Henry Tudor waits in Brittany while his mother, Margaret Beaufort, helps organise opposition in England. The scattered Elder family is pushed towards the rebellion even though its loyalties have long been associated with York.

William Catesby, one of Richard’s most influential councillors, is determined to destroy the Elders before they can become useful to the king’s enemies. John Elder must weigh survival against allegiance as uprisings spread and Henry Tudor attempts to exploit the crisis. The novel places the family inside the failed rebellion of 1483 and the political realignment that follows it.
