Really enjoyable historical novel with a feel of authenticity to it. Plenty of action that keeps the story interesting and moving along. Also some poignancy as well. If I have a criticism it is that some of pseudo mediaeval metaphors and language seems a bit overused and repetitive but that is a minor issue and one of taste that does not detract from this rip roaring story.

Synopsis
Westminster, 1184. As a reward for loyalty to the crown, Fulke FitzWarin becomes companion to Prince John. But the FitzWarins are as proud as they are true, so when John accuses Fulke of cheating at chess, his response is inevitable — and disastrous. Thus begins a bitter and life-long personal rivalry. The FitzWarins dream of returning to their family home, Whittington, taken from them during a war. But John is vindictive and his delight in denying the FitzWarins what is rightfully theirs leads to Fulke’s renouncing his allegiance and turning outlaw.
