In 1470, Isobel Fenton has lost control of Beaumoncote and become the unwilling mistress of an earl whose household offers wealth without safety. Her hope rests with Robert Langton, the earl’s brother, who has entered the service of Richard, Duke of Gloucester. Their private choices are constrained by the bitter feud surrounding Isobel’s land and by the countess who regards her as a rival.
England’s government collapses when Warwick and George, Duke of Clarence, drive Edward IV into exile and restore Henry VI. As Yorkist and Lancastrian loyalties reverse, Isobel’s value as an heiress makes escape more difficult and Robert’s service places him inside the struggle for Edward’s return. The novel follows the Readeption crisis towards renewed war, forcing Isobel to act before another change of king decides her fate.
