Book 3 in the Will Bowman series, set during the Third Crusade as Will Bowman returns to the service of King Richard I. The story moves from the battlefield in the Holy Land into a rescue mission that is full of court intrigue, divided loyalties and the wider power struggles of the age.

The year is 1191, and Will Bowman is once again fighting for King Richard in the Holy Land. After the siege of Acre, the war is still on. Richard’s forces are locked in repeated clashes against Saladin’s armies. While Will, Gabriel, Samson, and the rest of the gang have survived for now, with the battles getting longer and longer, they no longer believe things will turn around, and they see no clear end to the war.

Even when the fighting begins to ease, trouble is waiting elsewhere. Back in Richard’s kingdom, enemies are plotting, and their schemes threaten to create even more bloodshed. Now Will is pulled between the life he wants for himself and the duty he still feels toward his king.

Then unexpected news arrives and changes everything. Richard’s life is in danger, and Will may be the only one who can reach him in time. To try, he and his companions must travel deep into hostile territory on a secret mission where failure is far more likely than success.
