In 1459 England stands on the brink of chaos. The most powerful nobleman in the land, Richard of York, and the weak king, Henry of Lancaster, prepare to settle their differences on the battlefield. As the rule of law breaks down all over England old scores are being settled.
For a long time the Elders and the Radcliffes have been, at best, uncomfortable neighbours but when Ned Elder’s father and brother are murdered and his sisters abducted by the Radcliffes, the young knight is forced to flee from his home. His sister Emma is torn from the quiet solitude of her household and forced into marriage, while Eleanor, her wild and beautiful younger sister, is condemned to imprisonment in a remote nunnery. But neither Ned nor his sisters are willing to concede all to the Radcliffes without a fight and so the feud begins.
The fate of the Elders will hang not just upon Ned's skill with a sword, but on the courage of his sisters and the girl he loves. Amid the carnage and misery of the Wars of the Roses, the bitter struggle for survival is played out to its shocking conclusion.
