England has a new master.
Simon de Montfort's victory at the Battle of Lewes has made him king in all but name. He has vowed to restore the rights and liberties of the kingdom, but now even his friends grow wary of his power.
As old alliances break down, new rebellions gather strength. The captive king's supporters muster, vowing to overthrow the new regime.
Meanwhile Adam de Norton, who won the honour of knighthood on the field at Lewes, has reclaimed his ancestral lands. A peaceful and prosperous future lies before him - until he receives a summons he cannot refuse.
War is inevitable. But this time, will Adam be on the winning side?
