After the Battle of CrÉcy, the central episode of the first installment of this series, Thomas de Hookton is sent by the king back to England where the Scots, at the request of the French and taking advantage of the decline in defenses, have invaded the north of the country causing what will go down in history as the battle of Neville's Cross and in which Thomas is involved despite himself. That does not prevent him from continuing his pilgrimage in search of the Grail, which will take him back to his hometown and to France, where he will attend another memorable battle: that of La Roche Derrien, in which Charles de Blois was defeated, taken prisoner and in which our protagonist will have a prominent role.
