After the death of Sir William Strongstaff, Sir Michael of Weedon inherits part of the burden of serving England’s rulers without possessing his predecessor’s influence at court. Removed from the new king’s immediate household, Michael is sent to France, where Henry V’s brothers are struggling to preserve the conquests won during the previous reign.

The war has changed. English commanders disagree, resources are limited and political calculations make it difficult to know which apparent ally can be trusted. Fighting beside Sir John Talbot, Michael must rely on judgement as much as courage while the English position in France begins to erode. The novel places an experienced knight inside the long aftermath of Agincourt, when victory proves far easier to win than to maintain.
