About this item

Political unrest permeates York at the cusp of the fifteenth century, as warring factions take sides on who should be the rightful king -- Richard II or his estranged, powerful cousin in exile, Henry Bolingbroke. Determined to find a way to be secure in her own wealth, Kate Clifford turns one of her properties near the minster into a guest house and sets up a business. She also quietly rents the discreet bedchambers to the wealthy, powerful merchants of York for nights with their mistresses. But the brutal murder of a mysterious guest and the disappearance of his companion threatens all that Kate has built. Before others in town hear word of a looming scandal, she must call upon all of her hard-won survival skills to save herself from ruin.
