Book excerpt: England 1469. Elizabeth Hardacre loves her father, a friend and ally of the Earl of Warwick, the most powerful man in England. When the Earl of Warwick's messenger informs her that her father is suspected of treason, Elizabeth's life changes dramatically, as it soon becomes apparent that it is not her father but the Earl of Warwick who has broken with King Edward IV, the man he put on the throne. The Wars of the Roses has begun again. Held as a hostage to ensure her father's compliance with the Earl of Warwick's wishes, Elizabeth becomes involved in a battle of her own: to obtain her father's freedom, even though this means taking the life of a man whose greatest sin is to love her. Unable to seek absolution for her crime, Elizabeth convinces herself that she is beyond redemption and adds sin on sin. But just when she believes that she can once again taste happiness, her trust is betrayed and she seeks a terrible revenge for that betrayal, one that will determine who holds the throne of England.
