“The previous winter was the coldest in memory, a bitter frost that swept across the plains of France and into the heart of Sir Myles Stapleton. Frozen blackbirds fell upon the roads of Normandy … There was word that even the mighty Thames and its estuary had frozen back in England. It was glacial cold. One that turned Europe into glittering glass. And somewhere in that savage winter, Sir Myles stopped wearing his sword …”

An English knight, tired of war, wants to find the girl he loves and return home from France. Unfortunately, war has not tired of him.

Sir Myles Stapleton has had his fill of war. And so the good knight throws his sword into a French forest intending to head back to England. Myles’ brother, Sir Bryan of Crispings joins him on the long, dusty ride home. They stop in on a French village to attend to one last duty. There, Myles falls in love … and into a swirling, dangerous world of trouble. The situation quickly grows worse when the two knights discover that a marauding gang of English deserters are marching hell-bent on the otherwise unprotected French village.
