Quote:
Fourteenth Century, France
Amos Questerly, a wandering minstrel takes on a
mysterious young apprentice. But his new protégé,
Richard, carries a deadly secret. A secret someone
is willing to kill for.
To reach safety they must earn their way to England
by telling exciting stories of magical swords, princesses,
and dragons, while danger follows on their heels.
By the time Amos learns Richard’s secret, it’s clear even
England may not be safe. The two, trapped in an adventure
as thrilling as any of the minstrel’s tales, must follow a
perilous path that leads straight to the royal palace.
