1642: Laurence Beaumont has just returned to England after six long years in the European wars. Fleeing home to escape the respnsibilities of his noble birthright, he served as both merenary and spy, and ended up a card sharp in a Dutch brothel. The atrocities he witnessed abroad have utterly destroyed his faith in any cause, and shattered his self-respect. As the clashes between King Charles I and his mutinous parliament escalate towards full civil war, Beaumont is sucked back into violence and intrigue when he discovers coded letters outlining a plot to assassinate the king. Hounded by the conspirators and pressed into service by the Secretary of State's ruthless spymasters, Beaumont finds himself threatened on all sides, in peril of his life if he makes a single slip.

And all the while, Beaumont is haunted by a strange prophecy, and the memory of a love betrayed
