As the English Civil War rages, when both politics and religion divide the nation, spirited aristocrat Angelica Fanshawe is drawn to the anti-monarchist cause. She tells the story as England dares to execute its king and search for an alternative means of government.
Angelica is born in 1623, when England is divided both politically and religiously, a time when political disobedience turned to revolution and civil war, and English history changed forever...
Devastated by the King's brutal betrayal, Angelica has been cast out of court, and finds herself destitute and starving. Meanwhile, divisions are beginning to split the Parliamentarians.
The country is in shock and divided as Oliver Cromwell puts the King on trial for treason and becomes the first head of the Republican Government.
Sexby returns to England, convinced that Cromwell was responsible for the murder of Rainsborough, and hatches a suicidal scheme to assassinate him.
