Publisher's Summary:

Betrayal. Murder. Revenge. Just another day in medieval Italy. The year is 1377. Angelo Anchioni has served in the Hospitaller Order for fourteen years. Determination, diligence and skill have made him a squire, but he remains unaware of the evil that those closest to him have within them. Returning home after a long absence, he finds his beloved family has been savagely murdered by the fickle decree of Bernabo Visconti, the lord of Milan and one of the most powerful men in Europe. Enraged, Anchioni sets out on a reckless quest through the deadly and dangerous landscape of 14th century Italy. As Anchioni and his fellow squire, Stuart Heton, become embroiled in the simmering feud between Visconti and the ruthless English mercenary, Sir John Hawkwood, the young men discover they are ill-equipped to survive for long in a land torn asunder by conflict. Anchioni must pursue vengeance and thus forfeit all he holds dear, or he must become a willing pawn in a violent struggle that may very well redefine the balance of power throughout Christendom.

A Robust Tale of Getting Even

Clearly, author Hight did his home work and knows his way pretty well around in 14th century Italy. It's also clear readers should do theirs, too; for with all the ferocity, mayhem and medieval intrigue going on, it's worth paying attention. But start off by thumb-checking the Dramatis Personae (cast of characters) and Glossary, the better to know who is doing what to whom, and why.

Get squared away with the style and lingo, and you're in for one heckuva read. Better yet, there's even more on tap.

Quality Middle Ages historical fiction that will keep you on your toes

If you love Medieval Italy and all its intrigue, this book is a must-read. It's obvious the author extensively researched while writing; this is a well fleshed-out story rich with details and accurate historical references. If you've studied the period and/or traveled the country, you'll delight over and over again in recognizing names and places (as I did). I was enthralled in reading the stories of these Medieval warriors, and recognized the subtle influences of the author's own service in the writing. This is the writing of an author with real "street cred," and it shows. I can't wait for his next publication.

Excellent read!

What a page turner! The book wasted no time calling the Squires to action and does not stop until the end. Excellent historical novel, vivid characters, and graphic descriptions that put you in medieval Italy. I especially enjoyed the scenes where he weaved his culinary knowledge into the period foods. I look forward to another one from
