Synopsis

1470. England is in turmoil as the battle between supporters of the Yorkist king, Edward IV, and the old Lancastrian king, Henry VI, escalates. And for Isobel Fenton, the war is personal. Her father's death made her heiress to Beaumoncote Manor, a desirable estate in the midlands. But as conflict threatens England's unstable peace, Isobel and her lands become the focus of bitter tensions and a long-held feud. Taken from her manor, Isobel becomes the unwilling mistress of an indomitable Earl. She sees her only chance of happiness in the Earl's brother, Robert Langton. Isobel's life in the castle becomes increasingly difficult as the Countess plots against her rival, and Isobel finds herself trapped and alone in her gilded prison. She is determined to take her fate into her own hands, but how can she gain her freedom and find her way back to Beaumoncote. . .?
