IN UNSETTLED TIMES, WHO CAN YOU TRUST?
1370: Owen Archer, ex-soldier and spy, is preparing to leave Wales, his work for John of Gaunt completed. Angered by Owen's prolonged absence, John Thoresby, Archbishop of York, orders his return.

But Owen's stay in the land of his birth has created divided loyalties in him. And those who serve the Welsh rebel leader would have Owen sign up to fight and never go home...
Where will his loyalties lie?
