War has reached the Anglo-Scottish Borders, and Batty Coalhouse is still haunted by Maramaldo, the commander who took his arm. When Batty is asked to find a group of missing nuns and bring them to safety, the assignment offers a possible route to the enemy he has been seeking.

The rescue leads into the Cheviot hills, where hired soldiers, raiders and informers serve competing interests during Henry VIII’s campaign against Scotland. Batty and his companions discover that the women are part of a larger scheme, forcing them to fight through deception and divided loyalties before they can settle their private feud.
