Mitt, the son of a Free Holander, had grown up with the idea of joining the Freedom Fighters and avenging the wrongs done to his father. But when his part in the plot to assassinate the tyrant Earl goes wildly wrong, he finds himself on the run - and the only place to hide is in the midst of his enemies...
