Having taken part in the invasion of England, and later suffering
serious injury in battle, Sir Alan of Thorrington is asked to use
his wits to assist King William in the political and judicial
arenas, and to use his specialist knowledge as a siege engineer.
Dispatched to the Welsh Marches, Alan negotiates the surrender of
Eadric 'The Wild', before again acting as a spy in the North of
England. Journeying with the embassage to the king of Scotland,
when one of the embassage is foully murdered Alan takes the leading
hand in the investigation. Shipwreck, murder, intrigue and bloody
battles, culminating in the Revolt of the Earls, form part of this
spellbinding story, set in the turbulent years following the Norman
invasion and the subsequent subjugation of the English. Historical
detail and facts are woven into each story in the series, enriching
the reading experience for the history aficionado. History comes
alive on every page. Medieval England can be felt, heard, touched
and smelt.
