After Magna Carta fails to reconcile King John and his barons, Nicholas de Caen is imprisoned because he knows a secret capable of damaging the crown. During the royal baggage train’s disastrous crossing of the Wash, he escapes with part of the king’s treasure and is rescued by Miriel, a novice confined to a convent against her will.
Miriel sees Nicholas and the treasure as a route to freedom, but flight binds them to a secret pursued by royal agents and opportunists. Suspicion, greed and attraction complicate their alliance as the First Barons’ War turns the fenland into a landscape where neither law nor loyalty offers reliable protection.
