1333. Edward III is at war with Scotland. Nineteen-year-old Sir
Harry de Lyon yearns to prove himself, and jumps at the chance when
a powerful English baron, William Montagu, invites him on a secret
mission with a dozen elite knights. They ride north, to a crumbling
Scottish keep, capturing the feral, half-starved boy within and
putting the other inhabitants to the sword. But nobody knows why
the flower of English knighthood snuck over the border to capture a
savage, dirty teenage boy. Montagu gives the boy to Harry as his
squire, with only two rules: don't let him escape, and convert him
to the English cause. At first, it's hopeless. The Scottish boy is
surly and violent, and eats anything that isn't nailed down. Then
Harry begins to notice things: that, as well as Gaelic, the boy
speaks flawless French, with an accent much different from Harry's
Norman one. That he can read Latin too. And when Harry finally
convinces the boy - Iain mac Mail Coluim - to cut his filthy
curtain of hair, the face revealed is the most beautiful thing
Harry has ever seen. With Iain as his squire, Harry wins tournament
after tournament and becomes a favourite of the King. But
underneath the pageantry smoulder twin secrets: Harry and Iain's
growing passion for each other, and Iain's mysterious heritage. As
England hurtles towards war once again, these secrets will destroy
everything Harry holds dear.
