"The Serf" by Guy Thorne is a historical novel that tells the story of Hyla, a serf living under the oppressive rule of Baron Geoffroi de la Bourne during the tumultuous time of King Stephen's reign in medieval England.

The story introduces Hyla as he toils under the baron's cruelty, showing his loyalty to his family and his desperate hope for something better amidst the harsh realities of his existence. The narrative sets a path of rising conflict when Hyla learns of the baron's unspeakable actions against his daughters, transforming his quiet suffering into a burning quest for revenge that promises to ignite a revolt against the baron's tyranny.
