Sir Matthew, nephew of Sir Henry Samuel, reluctantly joins Henry of Almain on crusade, leaving an England that has not fully recovered from the rebellion associated with Simon de Montfort. The expedition proves difficult, and events abroad offer no simple escape from the political obligations waiting at home.

With the king and his principal regent ageing, surviving supporters of the rebellion continue to trouble the realm. The Earl of Cleveland and other lords are drawn into suppressing those remaining centres of resistance. The novel links crusading ambition with the unsettled aftermath of civil conflict, showing how rebellion continues to shape loyalties long after the main battles have ended.
