IN A WORLD of colliding interests among kings, four knights come together as competitors and friends. Mercenaries and warriors, they live by the sword. Circumstances surrounding their fidelity to one another ultimately drive them to question their faith and their allegiance. In the midst of shifting alliances and rising passions, they agree on a daring and shocking plan in the name of their liege, Henry II: to assassinate the archbishop of Canterbury. None of them foresees the turbulence ahead for the church, and as a result of their alliance and their bold plan, these four friends will alter the Anglican church and the throne of England forever.
