ENGLAND: In the year of grace, 1189

Having recently been dubbed knights by King Richard the Lionheart, Drake fitzAlan and his brother are lavishly fêted in a tournament on the grounds of their father's castle.

Before he's had a chance to test his manhood, Drake finds himself branded murderer and outlaw. Drake has two choices. Lose everything he holds dear ... or prove his innocence.

Chasing after the bad guys, he fends off hangmen, sheriffs, scoundrels, bastards, mercenaries, cutthroats, and the sharp-tongued daughter of an alewife who tends his wounds, feeds him gossip, and drives him mad with desire.

His journey of discovery leads him on a trail of power, betrayal, and greed. The stakes are high, not just for himself and his family but for the destiny of a king and his kingdom.

In the pursuit of justice, Drake has one last duty to perform ... a duel of honor before God and king.
