Furgul, a puppy born in a slave camp for racing greyhounds, has a terrible secret—he is himself only part greyhound. When the cruel owner of the camp recognizes Furgul's impure origins he takes Furgul to be killed, but Furgal manages a spectacular escape. Now Furgul must confront the indifference, complexity, warmth, and ferocity of the greater world, a world in which there seem to be two choices: live the comfortable life of a pet and sacrifice freedom or live the life of a free dog, glorious but also dangerous, in which every man will turn his hand against you. In the best tradition of The Call of the Wild and Watership Down, novelist Tim Willocks offers his first tale for young adults, an allegorical examination of human life through a dog's eyes, infused with heart, heroism, and the mysteries of the spirit.

V květnu 1565 vyhlásil turecký sultán Süleyman Nádherný válku johanitským rytířům na Maltě. Ostrovní bašta křesťanství je obklíčena obrovským osmanským vojskem, které ji marně obléhá tři měsíce, přičemž na obou stranách dochází k obrovským ztrátám. Na scéně se objevuje hraběnka Carla Penautier, která se snaží dostat na Maltu, aby našla svého syna, jenž jí byl odňat po porodu. Pomoci jí může pouze Sas Mattias Tannhauser, bývalý janičář a nyní obchodník se zbraněmi a opiem, který se rozhodne hraběnku doprovodit. Společně se snaží v chaosu krvavých bojů a strádání zachránit chlapce z rukou svaté války.
