You don't want to miss the start of this thrilling War of the Roses saga! For fans of Alison Weir, Elizabeth Chadwick, Conn Iggulden and Philippa Gregory. One woman's life is thrown into turmoil as her country erupts into civil war...
1469, England
For almost ten years, attractive and charismatic Edward IV has ruled with the Earl of Warwick's support, but now rebellion threatens England's fragile peace.
With the Midlands in uproar, King Edward wants peace in the shires and the last thing he 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 not aware of the importance she and her land represent, nor 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? Will she find a way to decide her own fate?
Or will the Wheel of Fortune fail to turn in her favour...?
