With ample fortunes garnered as a sword for hire and a loving wife now at his side, Captain James Bretherton at last looks to the prospect of leaving the world of war; instead, becoming a man who trains others to fight.
Any plans for an easier life are soon thwarted, however, when King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden seeks Bretherton’s services.
In his fight for the Protestant cause, Adolphus is eager to strengthen the backbone of his army and for that he needs Captain James; he needs a Captain of Horse.
