Twelve men close to the prince Karel died at a feast held in the Augustinian monastery in Padua, Italy. Who and why attempted to eliminate the firstborn son of the Czech king? Did the intended murder have anything to do with Jan Lucemburský's efforts to create a signoria under the banner of the Czech lion? The adventurous campaign through northern Italian cities ends in failure, and after eleven years, Karel arrives in ravaged Bohemia. Here, he also meets Matouš Rozoumek (whom we already know from the novel The War of Queens), who, after the death of Eliška Přemyslovna, has found his old love Hedvika again and is taking her to the castle of Vildštejn. However, the shadows of the past do not allow this couple to live in peace; someone causes the death of Hedvika's son Josífek's fiancée and kidnaps little Carlo...
