Sir Michael of Weedon believes his royal service has ended after the queen’s death removes the household position that bound him to court. His reputation for loyalty ensures the opposite. Henry VI’s government and the Earl of Suffolk send him to France to recover a sacred pyx, a mission that becomes entangled with the continuing English war there.

Before Michael can return, he is drawn back into military service alongside the formidable Sir John Talbot. A limited retrieval mission becomes part of a wider struggle to hold English possessions while political support at home weakens. The novel follows a veteran knight confronting the fact that personal honour can keep him in a war long after the court that first employed him has changed.
