The origin story of Wicked Lady Ferrers, Renaissance highway woman. 

Noblewoman Katherine Ferrers has lost almost everything to the English Civil Wars, including her mother and most of her estates. When her husband joins the war effort, she and her best friend Cordelia take matters into their own hands to make sure she doesn’t lose anything else.
