To keep Hugh in check the king builds Orford Castle, prompting him to rebel. Emboldened by the support of some unlikely allies, Hugh takes his revenge against Lord Sisland and rekindles his friendship with Count Philip of Flanders. He embarks on a bloody path, strewn with the bodies of friends and enemies alike. A path that leads inexorably towards his final conflict. In the east, Saladin consolidates his power as the 'time of promises' grows ever closer. With his mentor Muzawi, they enter the deadly catacombs of Kom-el-Shoqafa looking for answers that will release untold power. The Holy relic of Lydda finally gives up its timeless secret and as the eternal battle between good and evil reaches its climax, the End of Days threatens to lay waste the Holy Land.
