A long Roman road stretches deep through an ancient forest like a dark route straight to Hades. On that road are a band of survivors returning from a failed expedition to the Holy Land. One of only a handful of knights in this army is Guibert of Rocadamour, a young noble who wants nothing more than to become a legendary hero whom people will sing songs about.
Brave but inexperienced, Guibert must make several difficult decisions as rival groups among the remnants of the army vie for his support. As they draw closer to the safety of the French border, those stark choices become a matter of life or death.
***** Loved it! A great mix of good characterisation, both male and female, with a strong plot and plenty of action. Amazon review.
***** I loved this book. It reminded me of my youth when I voraciously read swashbuckling tales of this type. Amazon review.
***** It's a very compelling read. Moves at tremendous pace. Amazon review.
***** The character development of the young knight is powerful and the story gripping from start to finish. Amazon review.
