  It is the Spring of 1449. Recently widowed and still grieving for her husband, Christiana Helyngton finds her life wrenched apart by her late husband's greedy and ambitious relatives who are determined to have control of her lands and her daughters. Kidnapped, defamed and imprisoned, she must find a way to save herself before she can save her children. For Dame Frevisse at St. Frideswide's nunnery, Christiana is at first nothing more than a puzzle. Then, questions rise and troubles deepen and turn deadly. England is being drawn towards civil war by a struggle between the corrupt men who hold power around the king and those who oppose them. Christiana must use a secret entrusted to her by her husband as he was dying - but it is a secret that could bring down those lords nearest the king and destroy, rather than save, those most dear to her. Drawn into trouble far deeper than it first seemed, Frevisse must decide where her loyalties lie.
