"When Kit Fielding, champion steeplechase jockey, finds that Princess Casilia, his chief patron, is facing serious trouble, he goes unhesitatingly to her aid. Neither realizes that his instinctive support is the first step to a frightening battle involving violent risk, with the honour of the princess's family as the prize and Kit's own destruction as the forfeit."
