Reynevan is under attack from all sides and risks torture and execution if he fails in his mission to track down Jutta of Apolda. His adventure takes him around the Bohemian realm with the help of his allies, the always pragmatic Scharley and the enigmatic figure known as Samson Honeypot. And if Reynevan is to be successful in his search, he will require all of his wit, knowledge, and cunning. The Hussite Wars' political and religious alliances are constantly changing, and anyone who stands in their way risks being devoured by the struggle for dominance. Faced too with dark magical forces summoned by the malevolent Birkart of Grellenort, aided by his terrifying band of Back Riders, Reynevan knows the odds of finding Jutta decrease with every obstacle he is forced to overcome along the way. But he has never let impossible odds stop him before - and he will be reunited with his love, whatever the cost.
