Years previously, young Robert Fenner was forced into marriage with the older Lady Blaunche. Now, in 1442, he is being forced towards warfare with a powerful knight to protect lands his wife wrongly holds and will not surrender. Worse, he is in love with his ward Katherine, whose wealth makes her a goal of other men's greed, including his stepson's. To protect her, Robert must deny his love and choose someone else for her to marry while he fends off his wife's ambitions. Into this turmoil of loves, lusts, angers, fear, and greed, Dame Frevisse is brought from her nunnery's contemplative quiet by Lady Blaunche's need, only to find that more than prayers are needed when murder is done.
