Sometimes we find light in the darkest of places…
Tortured by a cold, Puritan father, Silence has learned to conceal her passionate nature inside a prison like shell of passivity.
Her eventual marriage does not offer her the escape that she longs for and she craves some semblance of autonomy.
It is only the sweep of history that finally offers Silence the freedom she so desires.
Civil war has raged and her sombre husband has been away for two years.
During this time Silence – now Mistress of Wintercombe – has enjoyed a harmonious time with her children.
Yet this sheltered world is shattered when enemy Cavaliers invade, causing havoc in the town.
Wintercombe, once a tranquil bastion of family virtue, is transformed into an unruly, drunken, and licentious garrison.
As the ugliness of war continues, Silence must learn to shed the submissive nature that life has forced her to assume and draw upon the inner strength that she has always possessed.
From this turmoil a still more subtle threat dawns in the handsome shape of Captain Nick Hellier.
As the battle for England is matched by the struggle within her soul, it’s not long before Captain Hellier starts to slowly unlock the chains around Silence’s fragile, Puritan heart…
