The year is 1414. "Sir James is thrust into a world of betrayal both in the English court and in France. Alliances are made and treaties are broken, all in the name of ambition. With no one to trust, he must navigate the corridors of power within the Court of Aragon. As military might builds for the greatest battle to conquer France, the navy is imperilled, as is King Henry V as plots against him fester. All hangs on the Council of Constance where treachery abounds, and Sir James must protect the English Embassy at all costs. Even with his own life."
