Synopsis

John has left the cathedral city where he used to live. With no friends and no family, he must make his way alone. He boards a ship, heading for a new life in Flanders.



But the ship is chased and holed by pirates, and the crew are forced to put in to the nearest port. Waiting while the ship is repaired, John befriends Christina, who is in dire straits - she is engaged to be married to a man she hates. John is desperate to help, but can think of no way out for her.



Far from home, John soon finds that more dangers await on land than on sea, as he is caught up in an intrigue that could see him sent to the gallows ...



A compelling tale of villainy and murder, set in mediaeval times.
