As the trainer known as "The Protector" at the most elite warrior training school in England, Fox has carved out a niche for himself training new recruits and distancing himself from the crushing failure of being unable to protect his love from a furious queen.

Fox's lady love was Gisele of Hampshire, and now her uncle, King John, is brokering a treaty that would see her plucked from the convent thrust into the limelight of a strategic marriage. Fox is now tasked with saving her from a marriage that would cause her death and taking her to safety—again. At William Marshal's request, he must take a leave from Blackchurch to try and finish what he started those years ago.
