About This Book

Rival noble factions at court manipulate a passive king, using marriage, patronage, and treachery to seize influence; a proud protector is cast out and dies under suspicious circumstances while a new queen and a dominant duke consolidate power. Political corruption and weak justice provoke popular unrest, spawning a violent urban rebellion that briefly overturns order. The turmoil culminates in armed clashes between competing houses as dynastic grievances harden into open war, alternating scenes of council intrigue, mob disorder, and battlefield confrontation.
