Sabine's family has been caught up in the madness of cruel King John's paranoia. The King's mysterious spymaster levels traitorous accusations at Sabine's father and sons, and one by one each man is callously starved to death. At last, Sabine is the only one left alive. The King contents himself with confining her to a nunnery. But Sabine has other ideas. She is now the only one left to track down the identity of the spymaster. To make him pay.
