In northern France in 1225, Estienne Wace has spent a year building an ordinary life away from campaigns and noble service. Four impoverished wanderers arrive with a dead knight’s armour, a dangerous horse and a proposal that offers money through the tournament circuit, drawing Estienne back towards the identity he hoped to abandon.

As the Black Lion wins contests, songs and noble patronage turn martial skill into public fame. Tournament alliances create opportunities beyond the field, but an enemy from Estienne’s past is using the same gatherings to approach him. The contest for glory becomes a struggle to discover whether reputation can protect a knight or merely make him easier to find.
