Description

January 1069 marks a turning point in English history as two thousand Normans march to subdue Northumbria. Tancred, an ambitious and oath-sworn knight, is among them, driven by hunger for battle, silver, and land.

His lord's death at Durham sets him on a path of vengeance, but he soon finds himself entangled in secret dealings between a powerful Norman magnate and a shadow from the past. As tensions rise, Tancred uncovers a plot that threatens to undermine the entire Conquest, one that echoes the events of Hastings.

The fate of the Kingdom hangs in the balance as Tancred navigates treacherous alliances and ancient rivalries. Will he be able to prevent a catastrophic outcome, or will the fragile peace between Normans and English be torn apart?
