Northern France, 1358. John II remains an English prisoner and the young Dauphin Charles struggles against Étienne Marcel in Paris, Charles of Navarre and a peasant uprising in the countryside. Berenger’s former companions now serve in a free company led by John Hawkwood, surviving by force in a devastated region.

The soldiers move through villages, noble reprisals and shifting alliances while an enemy pursues a private revenge. Their experience shows how the Jacquerie and Paris revolt were entangled with mercenary warfare, social anger and the collapse of reliable protection after the defeat at Poitiers.
