This is a the sixth book in the exciting saga of an Englishman who rose during the turbulent years following the death King Richard. It is action-packed historical fiction about medieval life and the constant warfare of the Middle Ages during England's feudal times after Richard the lionhearted. More specifically, it is the sixth novel in Martin Archer's epic feudal saga about the English farmer who rose to be the captain of a company of English Archers in Medieval England. Richard has died and John is to be crowned king in his place. There is action and excitement as Pope Innocent III calls for another crusade to free Jerusalem and the cities of the Holy Land.

William's priestly brother Thomas and the archers become involved when the Pope asks Thomas to help one of his assistants carry a "cease and desist" message to the crusaders - it's a message some the crusaders' leaders and their Venetian allies know about and are willing to go to war to prevent it from being delivered.
