Salisbury, 1226
A mysterious poacher claims to be a long-lost heir-to a man found crushed by his own cart wheel. Ela Longespée is determined to find the truth, even though the king has coldly appointed another sheriff in her place. Ela takes pity on the man-an injured knight who once saved her husband's life-and convinces the sheriff to release him from jail while she investigates. Will it turn out to be a deadly mistake?
