Calais, 1346–1347. Berenger and his archers serve in the English army surrounding the fortified port. The siege depends on controlling supply and information, but evidence that someone within the vintaine is passing intelligence to the French threatens the unit and the wider campaign.

Capture by Genoese forces turns the search for the informer into a struggle for survival at sea and on land. The novel links military espionage with the prolonged pressure placed on Calais, where hunger, mercenary service and divided loyalties shape both attackers and defenders.
