Despite the objections of his wife, Isabella, Lord Philip Whyford determines to accompany King Richard I on crusade to the Holy Land. After two years of waiting, Isabella is devastated when his cousin, Roger, returns with the news that Philip is dead. As Philip had no sons, Roger is his heir and wastes no time in laying claim to the title and estate. As the months of mourning her husband pass, Isabella comes to realise that he also intends to lay claim to her. In an effort to aid his cause, he tells her that Philip had an Eastern mistress who bore him a son. When his attempts to force her to marry him fail, he enlists the help of Prince John, Regent of England in his brother's absence. That is when things get even worse for Isabella and she finds herself a fugitive, her only hope of escape to leave England. She determines to go to the Holy Land, to learn the truth about Philip's mistress and the son she bore him. She has no other option.
