Publisher's Summary
A country torn apart by war. A woman fighting for her future....
Ely, 1643. England is convulsed by civil war, setting king against parliament and neighbour against neighbour. As the turmoil reaches her family home in Ely, 19-year-old Bridget Cromwell finds herself at the heart of the conflict.
With her father's star on the rise as a cavalry commander for the rebellious parliament, Bridget has her own ambitions for a life beyond marriage and motherhood. And as fractures appear in her own family with the wilful, beautiful younger sister Betty, Bridget faces a choice: to follow her heart, or to marry for power and influence, and fight for a revolution that will change history....
A gripping evocation of the Civil War, and the hidden stories of women at the heart of power.... Perfect for fans of Philippa Gregory and Anne O'Brien.
