The story of this novel is set in the 13th century in England and tells us about the fictitious outlaw Tom. He purportedly harried the nation at the time of a power struggle between King Henry III and Simon de Montfort. Norman, the supposed son of the Frenchman de Vac, the kings ex-fencing master, has a grudge against his former employer and raises the boy to be a simple, brutal human killing machine with a hatred of all things English. This novel has war, historical romance, and revenge, all together with courage and emotions.
