The rebellions have been quashed. Richard, Duke of Gloucester, basking in the approval of the king for proving his steadfast loyalty and courage in battle, has been heaped with rewards and titles. As his star rises, Francis finds himself drawn closer into the family fold as, with Warwick dead, King Edward places him in the home of his own sister Elizabeth, Duchess of Suffolk. With Caitlin Desmond and her children closeted away in Pontefract Castle, a battle for supremacy amongst the king's brothers is about to begin. Richard is determined to marry Warwick's daughter Anne, their childhood friend and a woman with a claim to a vast fortune. A fact which has not escaped George, the Duke of Clarence. Married to Anne's sister Isabel, his acquisitive nature has been far from quelled despite the downfall of the powerful Neville brothers. As Francis strives to negotiate a permanent place at Richard's side, he grows closer to gaining his own inheritance and the gap that once formed a chasm between himself and his young wife narrows, bringing with it both pleasure and pain.
