About this book

A Sussex castle surrounded by woodland gives A. D. Crake's historical novel its home in the days of the Barons' Wars. Written primarily for young readers of the Church of England, the story brings together the armed life of a knight and the religious work of a friar. Crake's preface explains how the remains of Walderne Castle and research into the local family helped him shape its medieval setting.

Hubert and Brother Martin meet at Lewes after each has faced a different test of courage. Martin rebukes a crowd's cruelty, while Hubert prepares to travel toward the Holy Land after gaining his knighthood. Their affectionate conversation links service, faith and friendship with the dangers surrounding them. Castles, priories and medieval Oxford broaden the setting, giving readers a historical adventure with a strong interest in religious duty and the choices people make under pressure.
