About This Book

A coming-of-age tale that follows a young man from a manor household who, eager to prove himself amid rising civil conflict, leaves home to seek his fortune. He travels through towns and camps, becomes involved with local forces, and shares hardships and battles with fellow soldiers. Along the way he confronts divided loyalties within his family and community, faces the moral and physical costs of combat, and wrestles with questions of honor and duty. The episodic narrative moves from domestic tension to military engagement and to the uneasy settlement and consequences that follow victory.
