England, 1381. Delia's quiet life as the daughter of an earl is shattered when her seven brothers are betrayed by their father and falsely arrested for treason and murder. With the Peasants' Revolt threatening the peace of the kingdom, King Richard II is executing anyone who poses a threat to his throne. Delia infiltrates the palace as a seamstress for the new queen so she can be near her brothers. She discovers Sir Geoffrey, the guard captain who arrested her brothers, has been secretly carrying food to them in the Tower of London. Can the two right this wrong-- without losing their heads to this execution-prone king? -- adapted from jacket |
