With an imposter prince claiming he is Henry Tudor, Margaret
Beaufort must play the game of kings very carefully in this
richly-imagined medieval mystery. "Uneasy lies the head which wears
the crown" 1472. Edward IV reigns triumphant over England and his
rivals, the Lancastrians. But he is uneasy, for one true claimant
remains: the young Henry Tudor, son of Margaret Beaufort, Countess
of Richmond. Henry's continued existence worries Edward, so he
hatches a plan to bring a cuckoo into the nest - an imposter prince
is presented to Margaret Beaufort as her son. Margaret is no fool
and knows she must play this game of kings carefully . . . When she
is invited to George Neville's beautiful home 'The Moor' to help
investigate some mysterious and gruesome murders she knows dark
forces are at play. Whispers of a shadowy figure called Achitophel
hang over the house's occupants, like the impenetrable mist that
descended on the battle of Barnet the previous year and secured the
crown for Edward. And as the body count increases, Margaret
suspects there is a link to that fateful battle and the murderer
who seems relentless in his thirst for blood . . . Can Margaret
protect her life as well as her true son's claim to the throne?
