England is in a fractious state as the victory of the Battle of Bosworth, Henry Tudor, is set to ascend to the throne. Elizabeth of York ("Lizzie") and her family, supporters of the former king, find themselves in grave danger.

King Henry VII tours the kingdom in an attempt to establish himself as the new sovereign; Lizzie's pregnancy complicates her loyalties.

Lizzie gives birth to Prince Arthur, and finds common ground with Henry. Jasper Tudor visits Margaret of Burgundy seeking an alliance, and Lizzie's mother Elizabeth is exiled to Bermondsey Abbey.

Further political challenges are on the horizon. When King Henry finds himself back on the battlefield to protect his reign, Lizzie learns that the threats they face may be closer to home.

Lizzie must deal with her mother's defiant defense of the York cause, while the appearance of a boy in Burgundy claiming to be a young prince threatens to further destabilize King Henry's rule.

King Henry VII and Lizzie travel to Spain in an attempt to secure their son's betrothal. Meanwhile, unrest has been growing in Burgundy and spills over into an English battle.

A final confrontation with the pretender exposes King Henry's weaknesses, while Lizzie confronts new demons and old curses.
