England, 1485
The future of England is uncertain, the king»s allies might really be his enemies, and poor young George is stuck in the crossfire. Held hostage by King Richard III, all George wants to do is become a noble knight. Can he and his servant Robin survive in the cut-throat world of medieval battles, betrayals and suspicious kings?
A strange and exciting tale, based on a real medieval knight, this story is full of Terry Deary»s dark humour and dry wit.
