As England is thrown into Civil War and the Royalists and the Roundheads clash, an era of unrest and instability begins. During this time of chaos, young Caroline Saunders is also fighting with her own heart over the man she should love and the one she actually does. She has been destined since birth to marry handsome Harry Mortimer, but as their families start a bitter conflict over the war - his family supporting the King, her family believing in the fight for justice by the revolutionaries - their arranged marriage is in jeopardy. And, Caroline is startled to find that she is more upset by the idea of never seeing Harry's rebellious younger brother, Nicolas, again.
