Synopsis
‘Knight’ is a story of action and adventure, romance and tragedy. It is the story of a king’s champion, who, after witnessing the tragic death of the woman he loved, and being stripped of the role to which he had dedicated his life, still, somehow, finds the will and the strength to pick himself up, and re-build his life; and, in the process, carry a king to victory on the battlefields of France. Set in the early fifteenth century, in the last days of the Age of Chivalry, this gripping work of historical fiction, woven into the factual events of the time, delves into the pain and suffering associated with loss, illustrating the ongoing struggle between the overwhelming desire to retreat into the world which has been lost, and the pressing need to find a way to move forward again. ‘Knight’ is breathtaking in its scope, exquisite in its tenderness, and uplifting in its refusal to fall into despair. It is a story of love and honour, truth and valour. But, above all, it is a book of hope, written by an author who has made the journey.
