\"However, Patsey, they would have gathered again stronger than ever, and it must have come to the same thing, in the long run. Now put on your disguise, at once. We will lie down for two hours, and see you off before daybreak. I do not know whether la Rochejaquelein, who must now be considered in command, since d''Elbee and Bonchamp are both desperately wounded, will gather a force to act as a rearguard. If so we must stay with him; but I do not think that even his influence would suffice to hold any considerable body of peasants together. All have convinced themselves that there is safety in Brittany. \"At any rate, the enemy will need a day''s rest before they pursue. They must have suffered quite as heavily as we have.\"

A stately lady was looking out of the window of an apartment in the Royal Chateau of Amboise, in the month of June, 1470. She was still handsome, though many years of anxiety, misfortune, and trouble, had left their traces on her face. In the room behind her, a knight was talking to a lady sitting at a tambour frame; a lad of seventeen was standing at another window stroking a hawk that sat on his wrist, while a boy of nine was seated at a table examining the pages of an illuminated missal. \"What will come of it, Eleanor?\" the lady at the window said, turning suddenly and impatiently from it. \"It seems past belief that I am to meet as a friend this haughty earl, who has for fifteen years been the bitterest enemy of my House. It appears almost impossible.\" \"''Tis strange indeed, my Queen; but so many strange things have befallen your Majesty that you should be the last to wonder at this. At any rate, as you said but yesterday, naught but good can come of it. He has done his worst against you, and one can scarce doubt that if he chooses he has power to do as much good for you, as in past times he has done you evil. ''Tis certain that his coming here shows he is in earnest, for his presence,—which is sure sooner or later to come to the ears of the Usurper,—will cause him to fall into the deepest disgrace.\" \"And yet it seemed,\" the queen said, \"that by marrying his daughter to Clarence he had bound himself more firmly than ever to the side of York.\" \"Ay, madam,\" the knight said. \"But Clarence himself is said to be alike unprincipled and ambitious, and it may well be that Warwick intended to set him up against Edward; had he not done so, such an alliance would not necessarily strengthen his position at Court.\" \"Methinks your supposition is the true one, Sir Thomas,\" the queen said. \"Edward cares not sufficiently for his brother to bestow much favour upon the father of the prince''s wife. Thus, he would gain but little by the marriage unless he were to place Clarence on the throne. Then he would again become the real ruler of England, as he was until Edward married Elizabeth Woodville, and the House of Rivers rose to the first place in the royal favour, and eclipsed the Star of Warwick. It is no wonder the proud Earl chafes under the ingratitude of the man who owes his throne to him, and that he is ready to dare everything so that he can but prove to him that he is not to be slighted with impunity. But why come to me, when he has Clarence as his puppet?\"

When a security guard at the UN shoots a harmless old man mistakenly suspected of being a suicide bomber, Tom Byrne--an idealistic young lawyer--is called in to calm the man''s family, including his daughter, Rebecca. However, Tom soon discovers that the victim was not quite as innocent as he seemed and his is the latest in a chain of hundreds of unexplained deaths linked to a powerful brotherhood. Pursued by ruthless killers, Tom must unlock a secret buried for more than sixty years--the last great secret of World War II.
