Frances Gorges, a skilled physician and herbalist, finds herself in a comfortable position. King James prefers spending time with her husband, Thomas, hunting stags rather than persecuting witches. This alleviates the burden of her medical expertise and herbal knowledge, which once threatened her life. Their family is flourishing, and their estates are secure. However, a new arrival at court introduces intrigue, jealousy, and danger. George Villiers, a young man with an angelic face and a cunning heart, captivates King James. Former favorites are crushed under the weight of scheming and lies, while Thomas's life becomes a living hell.
