Synopsis

On a perilous journey that takes them through beautiful Greek islands and treacherous Roman streets, Hubert and Edmund find the adventures of their lives are just beginning. Set upon by pirates, betrayed by allies, challenged to a deadly joust, and trapped between warring political factions, the squires learn there is only one real test of honor: remaining true to friends.

National Book Award nominee Michael Cadnum re-creates the sharp clash of swords and the pounding force of lance blows in this carefully researched tale of warriors in the Middle Ages. This sequel to The Book of the Lion is read with gripping authority by Ron Keith.
