Bordeaux, 1367. Sir Thomas Blackstone ist Steinmetz, Bogenschütze, Schwertkämpfer, Kriegsherr des englischen Königs. Und erneut wird er vom englischen Kronprinzen gebraucht, um die Welle der Unterstützung für den König von Frankreich zurückzudrängen. Ein lästiges Werkzeug: Don Pedro, als Verbündeter für England unverzichtbar. Blackstone soll ihn zurück auf den Thron von Kastilien bringen – und ist seiner Mission für diesen grausamen Herrscher zutiefst überdrüssig. Unterdessen zieht Blackstones Sohn Henry inkognito durch Frankreich.

The French capital is at war with itself. Informers, gangsters, collaborators and Resistance factions are as ready to slit each other's throats as they are the Germans'. The occupiers are no better: the Gestapo and Abwehr – military intelligence – are locked in their own lethal battle for dominance. Mitchell knows the risks but he has a reason to put his life on the line: his family are still in Paris and have fallen into the hands of the Gestapo.
