It follows Hereward, son of Lady Godiva, who transforms from an outlawed young ruffian into England's defiant resistance leader against the Norman invaders.

The novel blends adventure, romance, and brutal medieval combat as it chronicles one man's fight
against overwhelming odds and the conflicts between primitive vigor and Norman discipline. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
