Publisher's Summary

Tuscany, 1358: Thomas Blackstone has built a formidable reputation in exile, fighting as a mercenary amid the ceaseless warring of Italy's City States. But when a dying man delivers a message recalling him to England, it seems to be a trap. Yet Blackstone cannot disobey and will brave the terrors of the High Alps in winter, face the Black Prince in tournament and submit to trial by combat. Every step of the way, he is shadowed by a notorious assassin with orders to dispatch him to hell....

It couldn't last forever

Bittersweet, another epic tale of chivalry and pageantry. Just as things are getting good disaster rips it all apart. This series adds a whole new perspective for me to Anglo-French relations. It's been entertaining and captivating.

The story continues

Another great book. Whilst the narrator changed for this one and it is slightly annoying for the first couple of chapters, I quickly got into the story.

There is also quite a few twists and turns in this one. I don’t want to spoil the plot but it did have me thinking throughout.

Enjoying the series and l will be reading the next one.

i don't understand the change in Narrator..usually i love Colin Mace but his Narrative of this book is stilted and hard to listen to.

the story is interesting in its reality of the telling.

life was hard. simple for most of the people but short and brutal. the author does not hide from this.

Gripping, perfect flow!

This book flows on well, following the black stone story line!
For me this auther is worth collecting. And will I will be adding his book to my personal home libary.
