This is the sequel to Edward IX: The Black Lion.
Edward has secured England and his Dominions. He sends High Chancellor Levine to what is left of America to find out what has happened to Senator Brevard. Meanwhile retired Colonel Alexandra Rheinhart sets sail to track down and meet her birth mother, the Coutess of Leuven. Henry Bryant develops an Atlantic Island for hidden resources. Levine meets the mysterious Greywolf and the Indian tribes of America. Rheinhart is captured by a certain Count Demetriev who takes the Hypnoid from her. Levine sends Scarman and his men to Northern Russia to rescue her and to thwart a possible challenge to the throne by Demetriev. Greywolf, along with an old comrade from the CIA, hunts down a renegade Chinese group of mercenaries who have discovered the Hypnoid weapon and are possessed by a golden cave in Kentucky.
All is revealed in the second book surrounding Edward Gaunt, the last Plantagenet King of England.
