Living alongside the oppressed masses is Seraina, following the Druids way, living quietly after being chased out of town before they called her a witch. Also there is Noll, a Robin Hood type figure trying to rouse the people against the imported lords.
Thomas, leader of the Hospitallers when they were on Crusade just wants to settle down to a quiet life without fighting, but gets dragged into events.
Good characters and action, makes you want to get the next book to see how events unfold
