At seventeen, Rodric becomes the young Count of Valenta when his parents are killed by the vile Ervig, the lord of Aleveso. In 975 Valenta was on the northern edge of the Muslim penetration into the Christian-held lands in Spain.
Rodric has to deal with the Moors to the south as well as with Ervig's aggressive designs to become the pre-eminent lord among the Christians.
As Rodric learns who he can trust and who he must defend himself against, we learn a great deal about relations between Christians and Muslims more than a millenium ago.
This is Gary Robert Muschla second book set in medieval Europe. He also wrote Crusaders.
