With the sudden and unexpected death of King Richard, his younger brother and heir John is thrust onto the throne of England. John is also to inherit the vast lands that the Angevins hold in France. However, the succession is not likely to be easy when John's nephew Arthur stakes his claim. With King Philip of France prowling on the edges of the Angevin empire ready to strike at its weakest point and snatch land that he feels belongs to France, John finds himself pushed to the limit. He needs lots of luck and money to retain his inheritance and he will do almost anything to get it.

While the barons of England grow more discontented at the demands made on them to fund John's continental wars, the conflict in Normandy grows ever worse. John discovers what it is like not to be able to trust anyone, and he learns that loyalty is hard to find. In a world and a society where the formal giving of allegiance should mean everything but in practice is frequently disregarded and friends and foes often change places, John struggles to keep faith with his father's dream of united dominions ruled by one man.

This historical novel is the final volume in the trilogy 'John Plantagenet'.
