A young nation in peril. A web of deception. A triangle of forbidden love.

A beautiful weaver, the discerning son of William Tell and a fugitive Templar knight meet in this tale of allegiance, mystery, romance and a little medieval magic, set in the magnificent but menacing Alps in 1315.

Magda, a resourceful weaver, lives near Morgarten on the border of Helvetica, a fledgling nation under constant threat from the Habsburgs. She meets handsome Walter, the son of the notorious Wilhelm Tell, who delivers messages to all corners of the land. In France, the Knights Templar have been declared heretics by the King. Sébastien arrives in Morgarten as a fugitive, carrying hidden secrets, and Magda’s romantic feelings are thrown into turmoil.

When a monk is murdered at a nearby abbey during the theft of a coveted religious relic, Walter and Magda are tasked with solving the mystery. What they discover might cause a further rift with the Habsburgs. How can a handful of peasants in this isolated corner of the Alps defend themselves against the mighty Austrian army? Is Sébastien there to help their people or will he destroy all they have been fighting for? And who will be the victors in their turbulent triangle of love?
