Set against the turbulent backdrop of fifteenth-century England, this sweeping historical romance follows Anne as she fights to survive in exile while protecting the one secret that could destroy her forever.

Far from the glittering dangers of court, Anne has built a new life through courage, intelligence, and sheer determination. As a successful merchant, she is fiercely independent — but in a world ruled by powerful men, her success breeds resentment. Rival traders, bitter enemies, and ruthless opportunists are determined to see her humbled, silenced, and stripped of everything she has earned.

Yet Anne’s greatest danger lies hidden within her own household.

Her young son is the child of a passionate love affair with King Edward IV — a king who has no idea the boy exists. If the truth were uncovered, it could ignite scandal, political chaos, and deadly consequences for both mother and child. Surrounded by betrayal and intrigue, Anne must navigate a treacherous world where friends cannot be trusted and enemies lurk behind every smile.
