As Richard II’s government loses its grip, an exiled lord returns to England to reclaim his inheritance and gathers support far beyond the original dispute. Argyle Mowbray is trapped between a pledge made to the king and an ultimatum directed at his family. Betrayal inside his household and a death among those closest to him finally drive Argyle to defy royal authority for a second time.
Captured and taken to Paris, Argyle confronts evidence that his family history and political identity have been built on deliberate falsehoods. English and French enemies compete to use the secret as the balance of power shifts from Richard towards Henry Bolingbroke. To protect one life he may have to surrender another, and the decision links the Mowbrays’ private deceptions to the deposition that ends Richard II’s reign.
