Amidst this bloody and bleak era unfolds the story of young knight Richard Shelton. He seeks to bring to justice his father's murderer and rescue the brave young girl, Joanna, who has fallen into the hands of the treacherous Sir Daniel Brackley, facing a grim fate in the power struggles of the time.
