About this ebook
The year is 1173. King Henry's efforts to crush his rebellious sons ignite bloody border skirmishes throughout the land. Yet it is a time of triumph for mercenary Josceline de Gael, bastard son of the king's most trusted ally. Victorious on the battlefield, de Gael suffers sweet defeat when his heart is conquered by the lovely Linnet de Montsorrel. But their love will find its greatest challenge as the torments of jealousy, suspicion, pride - and an enemy from beyond the grave - threaten all they hold dear.

From my point of view, Chadwick's books are the best history books ever written so far. It goes back to the early centuries and makes a movie inside your head. It's covers so authentic and I don't want to talk about the content! So thrilling and makes you wonder. I'd totally buy this for someone.
