Young Cuthbert, hungry for adventure and glory, joins King Richard the Lionheart’s army on its way to the Holy Land with French and German allies to free Jerusalem from the grasp of the Saracens.
Even before reaching their goal the Crusaders are torn by jealousy and intrigue, and Cuthbert soon finds that chivalry and honour are little valued.
From the battlefields in Palestine, across Europe and back to England Cuthbert faces desperate obstacles to his quest for knighthood and a castle of his own, and learns that you only truly win what you fight for fairly.
