After the bloody trials of Alexandria, Sir William Gold is readying for a pilgrimage to Jerusalem to ease the burden on his soul. He hopes, too, that the Holy City might allow his relationship with Emile, cousin of the Green Count of Savoy, to develop.

But the Roman emperor of Constantinople has been taken hostage by an unknown enemy, and the Green Count is vital to the rescue effort. It is up to Sir William to secure his support, but he soon finds that his past, and his relationship with Emile, might have repercussions he had not foreseen....

Suddenly thrust onto the stage of international politics, Sir William finds himself tangled in a web of plots, intrigue and murder. He must hold true to his chivalric principles, and to his knights, if he is to save the emperor and survive to tell the tale.

Lovely, just Lovely.

A seminal work by a Gentleman who has not just an expensive knowledge of the period but a tremendous way of drawing it together with immersive story telling and memorable characters, while also measuring his story against our modern world.

He creates a world that draws comparisons to Tolkien's majestic world building.

Astonishing.

Having thoroughly enjoyed the first two books in this series, I eagerly downloaded this one... to find that the narrator had been changed. There's nothing wrong with Peter Noble but his voice and reading style is completely different to that of Saul Reichlin (who read the first two books of the series), as are his pronunciations. The fact that the books are written in the first person just exagerates this problem.
If you can get past the above (which I'm struggling with) then the story line is excellent and is a superb continuation of the series.
It's a shame that the producers don't seem to appreciate how important the narrator is to the enjoyment of a series of books.

Tainted by change in narrator

Loved it, hard to put down. Historically sound, dramatically superb. Well read - brings these characters and their motivations to life - very plausible. Highly recommended.

Brilliant - the 14th century lives...
