King Charles of France has announced that he is confiscating Aquitaine, and Prince Edward has sent for knights and men at arms from England to assist him in opposing the French king. Lord Gilbert Talbot is required to provide five knights, 12 squires, and 20 archers and men at arms, and wishes his surgeon - Hugh de Singleton - to travel with the party, while Hugh’s wife Kate oversees the castle.

Among the party will be Sir Simon Trillowe, Hugh’s old nemesis and Kate’s former suitor, who had once set fire to Hugh’s house. After a brawl on the streets of Oxford, Sir Simon had nearly lost an ear; Hugh had sewn it back on but it had healed crooked, and Simon blamed Hugh for the disfigurement.

Finding himself in the same party, Hugh resolves not to turn his back on the knight - but it is Sir Simon who should not have turned his back.

I enjoyed this book and it filled in some gaps in the series. Tim Bruce’s narration was excellent as usual. However this book is only 4 hours long- about half the length of others in the series. Same price.

Short!

Well the group is off to battle and Dreaded Simon shows up. Well all is not well and murder even happens before battle. Another great one!

Short but good

Some will find the attitude expressed toward homosexuality offensive, although it is authentic for the historical period.

An excellent tale except for…

This excellent tale is short and bittersweet but enjoyable throughout. Mr. Starr makes good use of existing plot lines and characters to tell of Hugh de Singleton's participation in the Limoges campaign led by three sons of Edward III in 1370. I am working my way through the series as books become available on Audible. Tim Bruce does a fine job as narrator, striking the right emotional note throughout. If you have enjoyed the series so far, this novel is a new high point and not to be missed.

A small gem of the series
