1593: Sir Robert Carey has received a desperate cry for help from Lady Elizabeth Widdrington - in the form of half of her handfasting ring. Carey doesn't know for certain what is happening at Widdrington Castle. All he's sure of is that Elizabeth is in danger of her life.
What he wants to do is call out all the fighters he knows and go and deal finally with Sir Henry Widdrington, Elizabeth's abusive husband.
Yet he also knows that charging in mob-handed will probably end in the imprisoned Elizabeth's death by hanging. He needs guile and cunning, not swordplay and a rush of blood to the brain.
What he doesn't yet understand is that Elizabeth is tangled in another dangerous conspiracy against the King of Scots' life. Worse still, she is accused of witchcraft by her own husband, Lord Spynie and a professional witch-finder.
Genre: Historical Mystery
