Having been knighted By King Edward, 19 year old Susanna Tramaine is told never to be seen in her male guise of Simon of Tadcaster, on pain of death. But, on her return to her father's castle, she finds her stepmother about to kill her father and younger brother and rob the estate of everything. Try as she might, she can not keep away from her knightly training and with the death of her mother-in-law, it falls to her to run the estate, defend the castle and build an international trading company. A difficult enough task for a man, an impossible one for a woman in the eleventh century.
