In 1470 the War of the Roses threatens to tear England apart. For the beautiful and spirited ward of Warwick the Kingmaker, Margery, freedom is the only prize worth fighting for. Disgraced and banished to a nunnery after the philandering Edward IV seduced her, she is determined that no man will ever decide her fate again.
Fleeing England to the safety of Louis XI's Court in France, Margery is abducted by one of the king's men. When King Edward offers her an irresistible challenge - to act as his secret courier to France - Margery is more than willing to risk her life to save her family and escape a marriage of convenience.
Furious that his prize has escaped him, Margery's abductor pursues her across the Channel, and, with Warwick's connivance, forces her to marry him. Suddenly Margery is caught up in a maelstrom of political intrigue and deceit. Her handsome and enigmatic husband seems to have abandoned the king to join forces with Warwick and the Rebel Queen.
Torn between her loyalty to her cause and a dangerous attraction to a man she should despise, Margery's mission becomes a race against time to outwit her enemies - and her husband.
