Cadnum continues the saga (The Book of the Lion, The Leopard Sword) of knights Edmund and Hubert. With their master knights, they undertake to escort the Lady Esther on her pilgrimage to Rome. Cadnum introduces and explains intriguing facets of medieval lifestyle, but he hews closely to his characters' worldview, never flinching from the role that violence plays in their social order.
