1664. A TRAITOR MEETS HIS END ON TOWER HILL. A MYSTERY BEGINS TO UNRAVEL FOR MERCIA BLAKEWOOD. Four years after Charles II is restored to the throne, Mercia Blakewood stands to lose everything: her father to the executioner�s axe, her freedom to her treacherous uncle, her son to his resentful grandparents. But when her father leaves her a cryptic message in his last speech, she seizes her chance to fight back. With would-be lover Nathan Keyte and unlikely new friend Nicholas Wildmoor, Mercia must unravel her father�s mystery to find a great prize long thought lost, striving to recover the King�s stolen birthright in the hope of reclaiming her own. From London�s bulging metropolis to the forests of Manhattan she will contend with murder, intrigue and lust, fighting for her future and her life as the town of New York is born.
