1330. Philippa of Hainault may be married to King Edward III but she is kept penniless and powerless. England grimaces in the clutches of the Dowager Queen Isabella and her ruthlessly ambitious lover Lord Mortimer, while Edwards father rots in illegal confinement, a prisoner at Mortimers hand.

It will take a courageous young man to emerge from the shadows and rise up against this formidable pair. But now Edward is grown to maturity and Philippa, his new wife, is determined to see justice done. It is her advice, whispered into the young King Edwards ear, that will see the battle for Englands throne commence.

Treason is rife, with all to lose but a Crown in more than name - to gain. The victors prize is Englandfailure is death.
