In the late 1570s, the Netherlands endures under the oppressive rule of Spain. Edward 'Ned' Martin, a young man with a mixed Dutch and English heritage, becomes deeply involved in the fight for freedom. Witnessing the brutal realities of Spanish occupation, Ned vows to support his mother's people and avenge his murdered family. He joins forces with William the Silent, the leader of the Dutch rebellion, and is thrust into a dangerous world of espionage and warfare. Through daring exploits and narrow escapes, Ned experiences the dramatic events that led to the rise of the Dutch Republic.
