Captured near Calais in 1351, Martin Kemp and his companions are imprisoned in a French stronghold where failed escape attempts are answered with execution. Sir Hugues de Beauconray offers Kemp a bargain: travel to Scotland with a Dominican friar and recover a manuscript, or watch ten fellow prisoners hang.
The mission takes Kemp into the disputed Anglo-Scottish borderlands, where local lords, raiders and shifting allegiances make every journey dangerous. His skills as an archer and swordsman become essential as he tries to complete the theft, return to France and save the men held as guarantees for his obedience.
