It is 1075 in war-torn Brittany, where the rebel factions are lining up against King William of England on the borders of Normandy as he prepares to lay siege to the citadel of Dol in Eastern Brittany. Luc De Malvais, the renowned swordsman and Breton Horse Warrior, is loyal to his liege Lord Alain Rufus and King William. As a knight and Breton Lord, he knows that duty comes first, but as he faces constant threats to his beautiful Saxon wife, his family, and rebellion from all sides, he becomes embroiled in a deadly plot to destroy the King that only he can stop. Both Normandy and neighbouring Maine are under threat from the ruthless Fulk IV, the Count of Anjou and the rapacious King Philip of France, who is just waiting for an opportunity to invade. Into this turmoil rides the mighty rebel Earl of Suffolk & Norfolk, Ralph De Gael, who seems determined to destroy William, Luc De Malvais and the Breton Horse Warriors. Together with his younger brother Morvan, they find themselves facing an array of enemies, not only rebel forces but also former comrades determined to crush them. Luc’s marriage and his life as the leader of the Breton Horse Warriors are on the verge of being torn apart as he fights to find the truth and save his wife and family.
