In the summer of 1469 rebellion erupts against Edward IV and the fragile peace of the Yorkist kingdom collapses. Ned Elder is forced back into military service as the political alliance that placed Edward on the throne begins to fracture, while divisions within the Elder family make the danger even harder to contain.

Emma and Eleanor confront choices that may set them against Ned just as an old enemy offers unexpected help. The family’s survival becomes tied to the struggle among Edward, Warwick and the king’s opponents, with private loyalties tested by renewed civil war. The novel closes the first phase of the Elder story with a contest in which the crown itself is at stake.
