She buried him once. She will not lose him again.

Alys of Lochlainn thought she had survived the worst. Then she learns Lord Hampton is alive in France and bound to another woman.

Determined to protect her children and salvage what remains of her family, she follows him across the Narrow Sea into a court shaped by rivalry, fear, and shifting loyalties.

At Plessis, the greatest danger is not war, but the Countess herself.

Powerful, calculating, and determined to secure her own position, the Countess of Plessis wastes no time in making her hostility clear. When she leaves for Plessis with the children ahead of Alys and Hampton, Alys has no choice but to follow into a household where every smile conceals a threat.

Then her daughter vanishes.

As England draws her back into its own dangers and old enemies gather once more, Alys is forced to fight on two fronts: for the man she loves, and for the child she will do anything to recover.

Because this time, love is not the only thing at stake.

Her family is.

Continue the Lochlainn series with Fleur de Lys.

Inspired by the shifting loyalties of the Wars of the Roses.
