1399. York is preparing for civil war, teeming with knights and
their armed retainers summoned for the city's defense. Henry of
Lancaster is rumored to have landed on the northeast coast of
England, not so far from York, intent on reclaiming his
inheritance-an inheritance which his cousin, King Richard, has
declared forfeit. With the city unsettled and rife with rumors,
Eleanor Clifford's abrupt return to York upon the mysterious death
of her husband in Strasbourg is met with suspicion in the city. Her
daughter Kate is determined to keep her distance, but it will not
be easy-Eleanor has settled next door with the intention of
establishing a house of beguines, or poor sisters. When one of the
beguines is set upon in the night by an intruder, Kate knows that
for the sake of her own reputation and the safety of her young
wards she must investigate. From the first, Eleanor is clearly
frightened yet maintains a stubborn silence. The brutal murder of
one of Eleanor's servants leads Kate to suspect that her mother's
troubles have followed her from Strasbourg. Is she secretly
involved in the political upheaval? When one of her wards is
frightened by a too-curious stranger, Kate is desperate to draw her
mother out of her silence before tragedy strikes her own household.
