In 1173, the rebellion of Henry II’s sons creates opportunities for the mercenary knight Joscelin de Gael. When Linnet de Montsorrel’s husband is exposed as a traitor and killed, Joscelin receives responsibility for her estates through an imposed marriage that neither partner has chosen.

Their household must withstand border warfare, rival claimants and hostility from Joscelin’s own family while the royal conflict spreads across the realm. Mutual suspicion gradually gives way to respect, but survival depends on their ability to act as allies before political enemies exploit the weaknesses of their new union.
