Summary:

Chrysagon, an 11th century Norman knight and war lord is given command of a Druid peasant village. Battling enemies from the North and from his own ranks the lonely warrior is enamored of Bromwyn, engaged to the son of the tribe's chieftain. Under the influence of a plotting brother he takes advantage of an ancient law permitting nobility the right of first night with any bride. Captivated, he refuses to give Bromwyn up at dawn, and the stage is set for revenge, betrayal, battles, and murder.
