Romanticko-historický román je zasazen do konce 16. století, do Anglie za vlády královny Alžběty. Krásná mladá dívka Sára, aby unikla z područí despotického otčíma, souhlasí s nabídkou k sňatku od lorda Devenporta, kterého však nikdy neviděla. Ví, že sňatek je výměnou za její pozemky v Irsku, ale přesto ji urazí, že se lord nechá při svatbě zastoupit a hodlá ji "uklidit" na jedno své sídlo. Aby se mu pomstila, využije přímluvy své tety a stane se jednou z královniných dvorních dam. Svojí krásou zaujme královnina oblíbence, svého manžela a stane se jeho milenkou. Zamýšlená pomsta však vyústí v hluboký milostný vztah. Jednoduchému příběhu tvoří kulisy poměry na dvoře královny Alžběty, vztah Anglie a Španělska a irský odboj.
