In 1067 Thurkill is forced from his home after taking revenge on the Norman men responsible for killing his lord. Travelling west with Hild and his surviving companions, he reaches the unstable borderlands between England and Wales, where Eadric the Wild is resisting Norman expansion from Hereford. Thurkill hopes to escape the war, but the struggle between dispossessed English landholders and William the Conqueror’s new regime makes neutrality increasingly impossible.

When news arrives of a wider rebellion against William, Thurkill again chooses loyalty to the defeated English cause over personal safety. His attempt to redeem his failure to save Harold draws him into another campaign and a final confrontation with Robert FitzGilbert. The third Huscarl Chronicle broadens the aftermath of Hastings from private dispossession to organised resistance on the Welsh frontier.
