England, 1330. A captive king. A kingdom divided. A reckoning long overdue.
Young Edward III wears the crown, but true power lies in the hands of his mother, Queen Isabella, and her ruthless lover, Roger de Mortimer. Determined to seize his birthright, Edward gathers a circle of loyal allies — and prepares to strike.
Far from court, Sir John Swale, once outlaw and exile, is fighting a different war. In the blood-soaked fields of Gascony, he battles for survival — only to be captured, ransomed, and cast back into the chaos of England. Recalled to royal service, Swale finds a realm once again on the edge of ruin.
Old enemies have not forgotten him. The outlaw Eustace Folville rides free, joined by the merciless James Coterel. Together, their gangs leave a trail of murder and mayhem across the Midlands. As Scotland stirs and borderlands burn, Swale is sent north — into a brutal conflict where loyalty is bought in blood, and justice is carved at the point of a blade.
Torn between duty, vengeance, and survival, Swale must confront the devils of his past and the warlords of a broken realm. The Law of Treason is a visceral journey through betrayal, battlefield, and the dark heart of Plantagenet England.
