By 1472, England has settled into an uneasy peace. The Lancastrian King Henry VI is dead and Yorkist Edward IV has been restored to the throne.
Edward is supported by his younger brothers, George, Duke of Clarence and Richard, Duke of Gloucester. But the two men could not be more different.
Meanwhile, Isobel Fenton has overcome her enemies and regained her manor of Beaumancote. Now she looks forward to a future with the man she loves and their child.
But when they are unwittingly drawn into the political intrigue at Court, Isobel and Robert’s lives are once more thrown into turmoil.
And when Robert must leave to protect his mother, Isobel finds herself facing a new foe.
Can the King’s brothers work together for the good of the country? Or will ambition usurp loyalty?
And will Isobel and Robert survive the odds and reclaim the love and life they desire?
