Since she killed Lord Meuric's son in self-defense on a lonely Welsh road, and spent several months imprisoned and mistreated in his castle, Anwen has fought her nightmares.

As Edward Stafford, the Duke of Buckingham, prepares for the autumn joust, he fears escalating tension between the locals and Lord Meuric's brutal overseer, Beynon. His mood worsens when Sir Thomas Lovell, the king's ruthless enforcer, arrives unannounced in search of a traitor.
