Publisher's Synopsis
England, 1469. Margaret Paston knows that a favourable match for one of her unruly daughters is the only way to survive the loss of their recently acquired Caister Castle. But as the War of the Roses rages on, dangerous enemies threaten even her best-laid plans. Margery, her eldest daughter, has always strived to uphold the Paston name. But when she loses her heart to a man below her station, will she betray her family for a chance at true love? Anne Haute, first cousin to the Queen, is embroiled in a longstanding betrothal to Sir John Paston, the eldest son and heir to the Paston seat. But despite his promises, Anne doubts that he will make her his wife... In the midst of civil war, each of these women must decide: Head or heart? Love or duty? Reputation or scandal?
