In 1424, Isabel Williams loses the marriage she expected and is instead betrothed to John Seymour, heir to the family established at Wolf Hall in Wiltshire. John’s determination to enlarge the estate’s wealth and influence places Isabel inside a marriage where affection, inheritance and ambition are never easily separated.
A second strand follows Jess, a fictional shepherdess forced to seek refuge with the Seymours after being suspected in a young man’s disappearance. Their stories reveal work, landholding and gendered vulnerability beneath the politics of Henry VI’s divided court. The first volume of a planned family sequence traces the earlier generations of the house that would later produce Queen Jane Seymour.
