Set during the turbulent period surrounding the English Civil War and the Restoration of Charles II, the story follows Roland Rashcliffe, the son of a landless gentleman, as he grapples with the political intrigues and personal conflicts of his time. The narrative explores themes of loyalty, ambition, and the haunting legacy of deceit within the royal family. At the start of the book, Roland reflects on his father's past as a Royalist and his own upbringing marked by skepticism towards both royalists and parliamentarians. His father’s disillusionment after the Battle of Naseby shapes Roland's worldview, leading to a life of cautious detachment. Unexpectedly, the arrival of Katharine Harcomb, a woman with a mysterious past, triggers a series of events, including secretive discussions about King Charles II’s return and the potential for restoring lost fortunes. As Roland becomes embroiled in a complex plot involving the king’s marriage contract and family secrets, he must navigate turbulent waters and decide what kind of man he wishes to be amidst the dramatic shifts of his country and the woman now entwining herself in his destiny.
