Romance and action set against the Great Siege of Banbury, 1644.

For two years, England has been in the grip of Civil War. In Banbury, Oxfordshire, the Cavaliers hold the Castle, the Roundheads want it back and the town is full of zealous Puritans. Consequently, the gulf between Captain Justin Ambrose and Abigail Radford, the sister of a fanatically religious shopkeeper ought to be unbridgeable. The key to both the fate of the Castle and that of Justin and Abigail lies in defiance.
But will it be enough?
