The next instalment in the Chivalry series from a master of historical fiction.

The

Chivalry series follows William Gold, who runs away from London

to follow the Black Prince, from the killing fields of France, through

life as a routier and criminal, and to redemption with the Knights of

Saint John, further disillusion and an eventual career as a professional

soldier and knight. Rich in the details of life in the High Middle

Ages, the series also deals with modern issues about the role of

violence in society, rules of conflict and war, and the price that

people pay for using violence.

After a hard campaign without pay for the Pope and as a pawn in the games between Venice and Genoa, William Gold had considered retiring from military life. But letters intimating the truce between France and England, and the potential uprising of the state of Florence draw him back into the fray. An offer of captaincy from his old commander, and the chance of reuniting with the beautiful noblewoman he had travelled with on his last campaign, bring him back into action.
