It is on the battlefield that he will finally have the chance to become a man and prove his worth.The troops are weary and ill-nourished and the winter has been long. As Spain sinks ever further into depravity and corruption, the soldiers have not been paid and must survive by whatever ways they can.

Reputation, honour, and the glory of Spain will keep them in the fight, but for how long? Meanwhile, the Captain’s trusted friend Quevedo’s star is rising at court and he keeps Alatriste appraised of the machinations of his arch-enemy Luis de Alqu zar and the notorious assassin with the black heart, Gualterio Malatesta.
