After the battle of Lewes, Adam de Norton is knighted and has regained one of the manors stolen from him by his stepfather. King Henry is completely under the power of Simon de Montfort but his eldest son Edward is more of a prisoner and more of a threat. Adam is sworn to serve de Montfort and therefore is called up when rebellion hits the Welsh Marches. I really enjoyed the first book in this series and this is probably even stronger. The Baron's War saw father pitted against son as family loyalties were divided between honour and belief in the system. Here Ross uses a fictional character to explore those complex relationships and it works well. The fight scenes are excellent, the romance slightly less convincing! geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
1265 England has a new master. Simon de Montfort's victory at the Battle of Lewes has made him king in all but name. He has vowed to restore the rights and liberties of the kingdom, but now even his friends grow wary of his power. As old alliances break down, new rebellions gather strength. The captive king's supporters muster, vowing to overthrow the new regime. Meanwhile Adam de Norton, who won the honour of knighthood on the field at Lewes, has reclaimed his ancestral lands. A peaceful and prosperous future lies before him - until he receives a summons he cannot refuse. War is inevitable. But this time, will Adam be on the winning side?

Absolute quality.
Beautifully written totally engaging from start to finish, gripping with superb action sequences. At times unputdownable, atmospheric clever descriptive with a real feel for time and place.
Completely and utterly recommended. ( )
