In 1296, Scotland is divided after the death of Alexander III and Edward I’s imposition of John Balliol as king. Hal Sientcler and his companions are drawn into the resistance as William Wallace rises and Robert the Bruce weighs family ambition against the growing demand for independence.

Raids, sieges and rival Scottish factions carry the story toward the Battle of Falkirk. Hal’s loyalties are repeatedly tested as Bruce manoeuvres between submission and rebellion, while Edward’s army seeks to break the coalition before Scotland can produce a leader strong enough to hold it together.
