After a fruitless but far from uneventful stint at the Totresian Royal Court, Harriet Thatcher returns home to Limesdale to oversee her father's affairs, since he's imprisoned for treason against the crown. What she doesn't realize is the dire state of said affairs--cheating, trafficking, smuggling, stealing among other fraudulent activities. With her father's former accomplices on the loose, she has to form a brand new council to stop them, and deliver them to King Antoine in haste. And she has to oversee her portion of Rosford County--a duty never before attempted by a woman.
Thanks to two surprising allies--a former handmaiden and a man she never expected to see again--she takes on her responsibilities as Vidame of Limesdale, hoping to distance herself from the vipers at court and the usual obligations of a Lady of Totresia. But as it turns out, the castle's drama never looms too far from her, and all that happens in Torrinni... finds its way over to ruin her potentially peaceful life.
How will Harriet deal with her new role, and how will it affect her already strained relationship with her father?
