In the medieval world where men fear the wrath of God, Ralf de Capo, an Anglo-Norman knight turned Crusader serving in the army of the Kingdom of Jerusalem questions his reasons for fighting on behalf of men he believes are corrupt and immoral. From the oppressive heat of the desert Kingdom where he has to protect his enemies and protect a truth the church are seeking to hide, to the mud and blood of a depressing England caught in a civil war between the King and the Barons, he commands a castle under siege and fights to protect the woman he loves. His honour, reputation and the lives of those he holds most dear are at stake, but before he can keep the promises he has made, men from the past arrive to hunt him down, and their arrival changes everything!
