October, 1463
England is a divided nation. In the north, the Lancastrian king struggles to hold power, while in the south, the princes of the house of York prepare for war.
Across this land, pursued by the Church and the Law, a young man, Thomas, and a young woman, Katherine, make their way, bearing proof of a secret both sides will kill to learn.
Bent on revenge for a past outrage, Thomas and Katherine journey to the mighty castle of Bamburgh to join a weakening king as he marshals his army to take up arms in one of the most savage civil wars in history: the Wars of the Roses.

October, 1462: Lady Margaret Cornford has been banished from her castle for the murder of a young woman. What no one knows is that she is also Sister Katherine and has been sent back to the Priory. Having lost his memories, Brother Thomas returns to the one place he knows to remind him of his life before. Reunited with Katherine, he discovers that the man he thought was dead, his mortal enemy, Charles Riven, is still alive. Hell bent on revenge, the pair resolve to find and kill Riven once and for all. Their quest takes them across the land to Bamburgh Castle, where they join bloody battle in one of the most savage civil wars in history: the Wars of the Roses.
