During the Reign of King Richard II, a disgraced knight tests his mettle to save king and kingdom.

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.
