Prince Henry of Monmouth has barely recovered from the wound that nearly killed him when he is left to continue the struggle against Owain Glyndŵr in Wales. Edmund Mortimer and French support strengthen the rebels, while mountains, weather and local knowledge make the campaign far harder than a simple contest of armies.

Will Strongstaff remains beside the prince as guardian, adviser and experienced soldier. Together they face ambush, treachery and the financial strain of keeping forces in the field. The novel follows the military education of the future Henry V before Agincourt, showing how years of difficult campaigning in Wales shape the commander who will later carry an English army into France.
