As a member of the disgraced Montfort family, Richard must navigate the complexities of loyalty, honor, and duty while concealing his true identity from the very prince his family once opposed.Yonge masterfully weaves historical fact with spirited storytelling, bringing the medieval world to life with vivid detail.
