The small village of Maldon is controlled by the wealthy and rapacious FitzCorbucion family led by Hamo FitzCorbucion the lord of Blackwater Castle. When his eldest son Guy is found murdered an enraged Hamo demands justice. Into this charged atmosphere arrives a tribunal led by soldier Ralph Delchard and lawyer Gervase Bret. Surveying the lands of Maldon the tribunal detects irregularities in various deeds and plans to call the FitzCorbucion family to account. With tension high between Saxon and Norman factions in the village Ralph and Gervase find some relaxation in the gentler company of nuns. But Guy's murder and Hamo's quest for revenge force Ralph and Gervase to deal with dangerous matters far beyond their original duties.
