Sir Dirridain returns to his ancestral home with hopes of claiming the hand of the Lord's daughter and with it, the title to his father's former holdings. His high hopes are dashed as the Lord of Crogmoor is killed in the night and Dirridain blamed for it. He must clear his name to seize his dreams.

He is joined on his quest by Asira Quenn, a commoner with whom he can have no real future, but for whom he feels an uncomfortable attraction.
