Restored to his titles Earl of Leicester, Steward of England, Simon as England's ambassador to France is living contentedly in Paris when Prince Edward commits an atrocity, and the Earl must return to save him and his friends from Llewellyn.
In England again, unbidden, Simon becomes entangled in the barons' revolt against King Henry's misrule. When the barons recklessly abandon their project, he alone rescues the Provisions of Oxford -- and newborn democracy -- at risk of his life.
"An expertly told tale in which the star role is played by democracy, a poisoned chalice to be won only at the cost of treason." Kirkus
