Set during the reign of Henry I of England, a noble Saxon family
struggles to co-exist with their Norman conquerors, treated by them
as inferior in a land where once they held power. The Little Saxon
is the youngest son in a family that had strong ties to the Saxon
Kings. Younger sons, even in the great Norman families, could
expect very little unless they married an heiress or rose in the
ranks of the Church. This resulted in the ruthless pursuit of
self-advancement with all the treachery and intrigue that it
required. Even murder is not ruled out where advantage can be
gained. Treasonous plots are hatched and foiled in which the Little
Saxon has a part to play. He is not only skilled in the use of
weapons, but has taken advantage of a monastic education to gain
advancement in a world where learning among the ruling classes is a
rarity. Interwoven with all the harshness of such turbulent times
is a story in the tradition of Romeo and Juliet - tender, romantic,
and ultimately tragic.
