His only hope of returning is to work hard and be awarded freedom by his Portuguese captors—a freedom he is consistently denied. As he is moved farther and farther inland, away from the coast and any hope of a boat back to England, Battell’s dreams of freedom begin to dwindle.

It's been nearly a century since Thomas Rimor last battled Yvag knights. In that time his wife and daughter have grown old and died, and he discovered that he ages not at all. The elven world believes him dead. In his grief, he has retreated to the depths of Sherwood and Barnsdale Forests and become a hermit.

When he learns of an assassination plot against Elizabeth, the Rhymer intervenes, only to find himself the object of the special attention of the Queen's spymaster, Francis Walsingham.

But the young man is a competent soldier and well-liked, so Guy settles for the occasional, public admonishment to keep the others from going down what he considers Will's path of dissolution.
