England is in a fractious state as the victory of the Battle of Bosworth, Henry Tudor, is set to ascend to the throne. Elizabeth of York ("Lizzie") and her family, supporters of the former king, find themselves in grave danger.
Further political challenges are on the horizon. When King Henry finds himself back on the battlefield to protect his reign, Lizzie learns that the threats they face may be closer to home.
Lizzie gives birth to Prince Arthur, and finds common ground with Henry. Jasper Tudor visits Margaret of Burgundy seeking an alliance, and Lizzie's mother Elizabeth is exiled to Bermondsey Abbey.
Lizzie must deal with her mother's defiant defense of the York cause, while the appearance of a boy in Burgundy claiming to be a young prince threatens to further destabilize King Henry's rule.
King Henry VII and Lizzie travel to Spain in an attempt to secure their son's betrothal. Meanwhile, unrest has been growing in Burgundy and spills over into an English battle.
Perkin Warbeck is brought back to England and is paraded around London to be shamed. But he still refuses to denounce his claim to the throne. With the King growing more and more paranoid, there is growing tension between Elizabeth and Margaret Pole.
