AD 1193. England lies uneasy, a land without a king. Richard the Lionheart is feared drowned on his return from crusade. On the throne, in his stead, sits Eleanor of Aquitaine, determined to prevent a civil war, but with few she can trust. Justin de Quincy is bastard-born son of the Bishop of Chester. He never acknowledged Justin, bestowing on the boy, in lieu of name or fortune, only an education. As it happens, it is a gift that, together with a blood-stained letter given to Justin by a dying man, will take him to the very centre of power - and into the heart of danger. Moving from the Tower of London to the alehouses and stews of Southwark, from the mountains of Wales to the wild coasts of Brittany, he must prove his mettle as the Queen's Man - or find an early grave - as he uncovers the dark intrigues of Eleanor's court.
