Jacquetta har arvet en sjette sans fra sin families stammoder, vandgudinden Melusine. Da hun som barn møder Jeanne d’Arc, genkender hun i hende sine særlige evner, og den franske hærførers henrettelse lader hende forstå, hvor farligt det er for en kvinde at have en særlig indsigt.Som 19-årig gifter Jacquetta sig i smug med den unge Richard Woodville, som tjener kongen. Jacquetta fornemmer dog hurtigt den voksende uvilje mod tronen, og hun står nu over for at måtte kæmpe både for sin konge, sin dronning og for sin datter Elizabeth, som hun kan fornemme går en glorværdig fremtid i møde: en ny skæbne, Englands trone og Yorks hvide rose.
