When invaders from Persia overrun and desecrate the Holy Land, the factions of Christian Palestine fail to unite to resist them. Filled with guilt for having left, Simon's one goal is to return to the East. But King Henry has other work for him. He must first bring order in England's rebelious duchy of Gascony. Intrigue and deception entangle him -- and give Henry the chance he wants to try Simon for treason.
Warfare, clandestine romance, deadly deceptions and Bordeaux wine mix in this second installment of the Montfort series.
"A full-blooded second installment of Ashe’s historical fiction, in which the seeds of rebellion against Henry III’s tyranny are sown in the mind of Simon de Montfort, the founder of Parliament." Kirkus
