In 1469, Isobel Fenton inherits Beaumoncote Manor and discovers that an unmarried heiress cannot control her land without attracting royal and noble intervention. Determined to remain at the estate, she accepts that marriage may be the only practical defence, but the powerful earl responsible for her wardship has plans that treat both Isobel and Beaumoncote as political assets.
The dispute unfolds while Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick, turns against Edward IV and rebellion spreads through the Midlands. Isobel is carried from local rivalry into the campaign that culminates at the Battle of Edgcote, where Yorkist authority fractures and leading men are captured. Her attempt to choose her husband and preserve her inheritance becomes inseparable from the ambitions of magnates who believe that land and loyalty belong to them.
