In 1270 the remaining Crusader strongholds face renewed attack from the Mamluk sultan Baybars. While defenders await the expedition led by Lord Edward, Krak des Chevaliers becomes the target of a campaign that threatens the wider security of the Crusader states.

In Wales, fourteen-year-old Garyn discovers a family secret that sends him east in search of his brother, revenge and a revered Christian relic. His private quest carries him into the violence surrounding the fortress and the final crusading efforts of the thirteenth century.
