Archaeologist Aaron Cole has discovered that a priceless medieval seal was planted at a Virginia excavation. Before he can expose the fraud, he is murdered.
The seal appears to prove that a long-lost noble heir once owned the disputed land, supporting claims worth millions. But when antiques appraiser Susan Stewart touches it, she is pulled into Yorkshire in 1461, where the truth is far more complicated.
In the aftermath of the Battle of Towton, steward Thomasin Reed creates a false heir to delay the seizure of an estate and protect the families who depend on it. Her temporary deception survives for centuries, until someone in the present discovers how profitable a fabricated inheritance can be.
Now Susan must prove Aaron was killed to protect a carefully staged archaeological fraud. Soil evidence, altered excavation records, forged grants, and a broken chain of custody point toward murder, while the seal reveals a startling truth about Susan's own family history.
Perfect for readers who enjoy the historical mysteries of C. S. Harris, the artifact-centered intrigue of Jane K. Cleland, and the dual-timeline secrets of Fiona Davis.
