Justice of the Root

In York, Edward Talbor, has only two ambitions- to be a worthy Rose of York and have Celeste Black for wife. His company of soldiers is among the finest in northern England and the day for the reading of the banns draws near. Then his company is turned over to a newly arrived bastard brother. And the two things he holds dear are most in jeopardy. Discovering treason, for the Crown, for honor, he will risk all. He cannot even pray for the miracle to save him. For Justice has been lost to York.

In London, Daffyd is content to be known as the youngest of the three Welsh knights, staying in the shadow of his cousins Owain and Griffin. Until a maid comes to the training yard and he is entranced. To protect Rose, Daffyd will risk the ire of the Duke of Norfolk, most powerful noble in England. To have her, he will turn his back on all court life.

"In the Rose, for the Rose, we have purpose. To do what is right. To have honor and deal honorably towards others," Sir Godfrey of York.
