Sent by his secretive father – kings’ man Thomas Vaughan – with a locked chest he has been ordered to guard with his life, Jack wonders if the mission is just to keep an illegitimate son out of the country. When a stranger arrives with the news his father has been arrested for treason, Jack finds himself thrust into the heart of a deadly conspiracy.
