Northern France, 1360. Negotiations at Brétigny promise peace between Edward III and John II, but soldiers who have lived by wages, ransom and plunder see little place for themselves in a settlement. Berenger returns to Hawkwood’s company as armed bands continue to move through abandoned farms and monasteries.

The discovery and theft of treasure draws the company into revenge and the politics of the Great Companies. The novel treats peace as a crisis for professional fighters, showing how royal agreement can redirect rather than end violence when thousands of armed men remain without lawful employment.
