The book is a retelling of the classic English folk tale of Dick Whittington and his cat, but with a twist. In this version, Whittington is a member of the Vintners' Company, a powerful guild of wine merchants in medieval London.

The novel is a thrilling adventure filled with danger, intrigue, and romance. It explores themes of loyalty, courage, and the power of community in the face of adversity. Through the character of Whittington, Stewart celebrates the virtues of hard work, perseverance, and humility, showing that even the humblest of beginnings can lead to great success.
