Mystery Historical
England still in tumult at the start of the fifteenth
century, as Kate Clifford finds herself working to prove the
innocence of her longtime confidante. It is deep winter in York, 1400, the ground frozen, the
short days dimmed with the smoke from countless fires, the
sun, when it shines, low in the sky. It is rumored that the
Epiphany Uprising, meant to relieve the realm of the Henry
the usurper and return King Richard to the throne has,
instead, spelled his doom. As long as Richard lives, he is a
threat to Henry. So, too, the nobles behind the plot. The
ringleaders have been caught, some slaughtered as they fled
west by folk loyal to Henry, and the king’s men now search
the towns for survivors. A perilous time, made worse for Kate Clifford by the
disappearance of Berend, her cook and confidante, shortly
after Christmas. Her niece saw his departure in a dream―he
said he was honor bound to leave. Honor bound―to a former
lord? One of the nobles who led the uprising? Is he alive?
She is hardly consoled when Berend reappears, wounded,
secretive, denying any connection to the uprising, but
refusing to explain himself. When he is accused of brutally murdering a spice seller in
the city, Kate discovers a chest of jewels in his
possession. Some of the jewels belong to her old friend Lady
Margery, wanted by the king for her husband’s part in the
uprising. For the sake of their long friendship, and the
love she and her wards bear for him, Kate wants to believe
his innocence. So, too, does Sir Elric. And he has the
powerful backing of the Earl of Westmoreland. All she need do is confide in him. If only she trusted her
heart.
