The year of our Lord 1173 and King Henry’s latest attempts to crush his rebellious sons ignite bloody skirmishes throughout the land. Henry is becoming more and more frustrated and at every turn he is opposed by some of the most powerful men in the land.
But for one man Josceline de Gael, a mercenary, it is a time of triumph. Josceline is the bastard son of Henry’s most trusted ally. A veritable ogre on the battlefield, de Gael is conquered by a woman, the lovely Linnet de Montsorrel. However their feelings for one another will be tested to the limit as the torments of jealousy, suspicion and pride and most importantly of all, an enemy from beyond the grave threaten to tear them apart.
