Violence reaches Simon’s own household when his servant Hugh returns to care for his wife Constance and their child. Their home is attacked, leaving deaths and injuries that appear to be part of a feud whose origins extend beyond the immediate victims.

Baldwin and Simon pursue the attackers through a landscape where families and retainers answer injury with private vengeance. The investigation is driven by personal grief but must still distinguish responsibility, exposing how bloodfeud can recruit people who did not commit the original wrong and make lawful settlement almost impossible.
