Synopsis/Details
Saxon Mercenary Edmond Busoni is a hired sword who has worked his way across Europe, the Middle
East and North Africa.
After a defeat in the defining battle on England’s south coast, Edmund is given little choice but to escort Lady
Mowbray of Normandy and her family to Durham.
This is a Western, the frontier is Britain.
Feudal England during a regime changing invasion is hostile and unwelcoming of these travellers. Finally a close
tie to Edmund who spearheads the English Resistance tests his loyalty.
