After the Scottish defeat at Falkirk, William Wallace escapes abroad while Robert the Bruce continues his hazardous contest for the crown. Wallace’s return brings old grievances back into the open, and Hal Sientcler finds himself among nobles whose alliances shift according to fear, kinship and opportunity.

Murder and political betrayal narrow Bruce’s choices until rebellion becomes irreversible. As Wallace approaches his final reckoning and Edward I tightens English control, Bruce must survive the destruction of rivals and allies long enough to be crowned King of Scots.
