When Isabel Williams is betrothed to John Seymour, Lord of Wulf Hall Manor, she hopes that love and respect will come, despite his cold streak of ruthless ambition.

Forced to flee after falling under suspicion for the disappearance of a young man, Isabel’s offer of life with the growing Seymour family is the only refuge available to her.
As John’s ambition draws them into the orbit of the divided court of the young King Henry VI, his hunger to succeed takes on a darker edge. Isabel realises her husband will pay any price to get what he wants, even if it means destroying those he has sworn to protect...
