Set during Oliver Cromwell's era, this thrilling historical adventure follows Sarah Turner, a young widow from Bristol who escapes a loveless arranged marriage after her husband's death. Now free, she works as a courier for Parliament under Martin Penford, her late father's executor. Thriving on the risks of her job, she meets Parliamentary Army officer James Hawkins near her home in Yate. Her seemingly charmed life takes a turn when she discovers a horrific scene that alters her existence. As danger looms, she finds herself drawn to Hawkins, and despite their clashing views on a woman's role, they marry in an independent partnership that frustrates James but satisfies Sarah. After having twins, she grows bored with her mundane life, leading to a chance encounter with two strangers that reignites her adventurous spirit. However, her life soon hangs in the balance as political tensions rise. As Sarah and James grow apart due to differing political beliefs, their communication dwindles, and suspicions arise. It takes an external event to bring them back together, uniting them on the same political front for the future of England.
