Buy the book from:
York, winter 1400. The Epiphany Rising has failed, Richard II's supporters are being hunted and rumours suggest that the deposed king will not survive Henry IV's fear of another restoration attempt. Kate Clifford's cook and confidant Berend disappears during the crisis and returns wounded, refusing to explain whom he has served.
Berend is accused of murdering a spice seller, and Kate finds in his possession a chest of jewels belonging partly to Lady Margery, whose husband was condemned for supporting Richard. To prove Berend's innocence, Kate must trace the jewels, shelter people marked as enemies of the new regime and decide which allies can be trusted when an ordinary criminal case may be treated as treason.
