Synopsis

1469, England. For almost ten years, Edward IV has ruled with the Earl of Warwick’s support, but now rebellion threatens England’s fragile peace. With the Midlands in uproar, the last thing King Edward needs is potential trouble in the form of an unwed heiress. But, strong-willed and single-minded, Isobel Fenton is determined that nothing will separate her from her beloved manor of Beaumancote, even if she does have to marry to stay there. Isobel is unaware of the importance she and her land represent, and of the agenda of the formidable Earl in whose care she finds herself. And as unrest boils into war, she is drawn into the very heart of the conflict. Can Isobel escape from the web in which she is trapped and make her own path? Or will the Wheel of Fortune fail to turn in her favour…?
