The Dales of Dale's Field have farmed their Yorkshire estate for generations. But conflict with a local enemy and the outbreak of the English Civil War make a deep impact on Will Dale, the young yeoman farmer currently the estate's owner.

This also leads to surprising chance encounters as the Parliamentarians move inexorably towards executing King Charles I.
