Ada is a laundress of little consequence but the new castle
commander Brian de Berclay has his evil eye on her. Perhaps she
shouldn't have secretly fed the young prisoner in the tower. But
when the King of England crosses the border with an army of over
3000 strong, Ada, her friend Godfrey and all at Caerlaverock
suddenly find themselves under attack, with only 60 men for
protection. Soon, rocks and flaming arrows rain from the sky over
Castle Caerlaverock - and Ada has a dangerous choice to make.
