Description

Political unrest permeates York at the cusp of the fifteenth century, as warring factions take sides on who should be the rightful king--Richard II or his estranged, powerful cousin in exile, Henry Bolingbroke.

Independent minded twenty-year-old Kate Clifford is struggling to dig out from beneath the debt left by her late husband.

Determined to find a way to be secure in her own wealth and establish her independence in a male dominated society, Kate turns one of her properties near the minster into a guest house and sets up a business.

In a dance of power, she also quietly rents the discreet bedchambers to the wealthy, powerful merchants of York for nights with their mistresses.But the brutal murder of a mysterious guest and the disappearance of his companion for the evening threatens all that Kate has built.

Before others in town hear word of a looming scandal, she must call upon all of her hard-won survival skills to save herself from ruin.
