In Burzenland in 1223, Estienne Wace has found purpose at the Teutonic Order’s fortress of Rosenau. King Andrew II of Hungary has invited the knights to defend the Carpathian frontier against Cuman raiders, but the military colony is also being used to extend Christian control over communities beyond the mountains.
When Fabrisse of Avallon leads a mission to convert a pagan clan and is captured, Estienne joins a small rescue party despite having warned against the expedition. The journey through hostile territory becomes a test of endurance and judgement, forcing him to decide whether loyalty requires obedience to the Order or resistance to the cruelty committed in its name.
