description: The end of the English Civil War marks the beginning of a new conflict between Parliament and the Army - in which King Charles becomes a valuable but devious pawn.In distant Yorkshire staunchly Royalist Venetia Clifford struggles to keep Ford Edge solvent while assisting fugitive Cavaliers to evade capture and awaiting the return of her exiled fiance Ellis Brandon. Then the last will and testament of Ellis' father - to whom Ford Edge has been temporarily assigned - confronts her with a choice between either losing her home or marrying Ellis' illegitimate elder brother. Gabriel Brandon is a total stranger and a Colonel in the New Model Army.
