Helena Woulfe, the daughter of a wealthy Exeter nobleman leads a privileged life. However, when King Charles II’s reign ends, so does her innocence.

Rebellion sweeps the West Country and after the devastaing defeat at Sedgemoor, Helena takes to the road in search of her father, uncle and brother.

While she is gone, soldiers ransack her home and the family estate is confiscated by the crown. Helena and her younger brother Henry, seek refuge with a family who take them in, but King James wants revenge on those who opposed him and he is determined the West Country will pay.

Bereft and abandoned, they go to London. Helena hopes the city will overlook their past and she can make a new life for herself, and perhaps find love. Only, there are others lurking, willing to do harm to a traitor’s daughter and, before she can find happiness with Guy, the man who offers her the security and respectability she seeks, she learns her family’s allegiances can snatch away her safety at any time.
