In 1338, Jeanette of Kent enters the travelling court of Edward III as England’s war with France begins. She falls in love with the household knight Thomas Holland and marries him in secret, but his departure on campaign leaves her exposed to relatives determined to impose a more advantageous match.
Forced into a second marriage and confined while Thomas is abroad, Jeanette must challenge her family through church law and royal influence. The novel follows their fight for recognition against the background of the Crécy campaign, plague and the ruthless calculations of an aristocracy in which marriage controls land, lineage and power.
