But of the forces ranged against Hardy, all pale beside the renegade Spanish agent codenamed Realm.

1588. In Lisbon the Spanish Armada prepares to set sail for England. Behind it is a dark and secretive game, one of murder, treachery and deceit.

And tens of thousands of children, pledged to recapture Jerusalem. Nothing can prepare them for what they will face.

Up the remote James River lies a small fort. This first outpost of the new colony is besieged by natives, beset by danger and sabotaged from within. Christian Hardy is there to protect the new possession on behalf of young Prince Henry, heir to the English throne. Ranged against him are King James I and his spymaster Robert Cecil as well as his old adversary Realm, who will stop at nothing to wreak vengeance on Hardy. A desperate fight for survival begins....
