It is 1644, and Parliament's armies have increased against the King and laid siege to the location of York. Even as the location suffers at the rebels' hands, midwife Bridget Hodgson becomes embroiled in a different type of rebellion. Among Bridget's friends, Esther Cooper, has been convicted of murdering her spouse and sentenced to be burnt alive. Convinced that her friend is innocent, Bridget models out to find the real killer. Bridget joins makes with Martha Hawkins, a servant who's a lot more skilled with a blade than any respectable woman ought to be. To save Esther from the stake, they must dodge rebel artillery, confront a murderous amount from Martha's earlier, and shoot a brutal killer who'll stop at nothing at all to cover his monitors. The investigation calls for Bridget and Martha from the homes of the city's most effective people to the alleyways of its poorest neighborhoods. Because they delve into the life of Esther's murdered spouse, they find that his ostentatious Puritanism hid a deeply sinister top secret life, which far too often tyranny and treason go together.
