Publisher Description

'One of the finest historical fiction writers in the world' Ben Kane

Pisa, May 1364.

Sir William Gold is looking forward to a lucrative career as a hired sword in the endless warring between Italy's city states. But when a message comes from the Grand Master of the Hospitaliers, William is forced to leave his dreams of fame and fortune behind him.

The Hospitaliers are gathering men for a crusade, and Sir William must join them. Yet before they set out for the holy land, the knights face deadly adversaries much closer to home . . .

In the twisting politics of Italy, no one can be trusted. And there are those who would be pleased to see the crusade fail . . .

Can Sir William and his knights survive this impossible mission into the heart of the enemy?

Mr. Acker ,

Helluva Good Read

One of the best I’ve read in a minute. I’d be careful about getting into it before bed though.

Yawn City !

The author is best advised to not quit his day job.

I finally gave up

I read the first book, and barely decided to try a second book. My mistake. He writes well, but it’s non-stop boring dialogue and explanations. Reads like a travel brochure. Little to no action. This knight sits around sewing and yapping 95% more than he fights. It just rambles on and on,
