Rating: Summary: A Champion Medieval Adventure! Review: This is the incredible story of Monday de Cerizay and Alexander de Montroi. She is the daughter of a tourney knight and he the brother of one, soon to become one himself. The story moves rapidly from place to place and event to event. Never is there a dull moment in this book! I couldn't get enough of it fast enough. You feel as if you are transported back in time and are a part of all their lives. I would stay up until 1 a.m. (sometimes later) absorbing all the details of jousting and tourneys to relationships ending, changing, and new ones beginning. Tragic events effect everyone's lives in the story, mostly for the better. The plot twists and turns and you have no idea where you're going next.I did not find this to be a predictable book at all! It kept revealing surprise after surprise and kept me hooked from start to finish! This is one of EC's best novels yet. If you do not like dull predictable reads this one is for you! Other books that I've read by Elizabeth Chadwick that were also outstanding are: The Winter Mantle (available at amazon.co.uk), The Love Knot, Lords of the White Castle, and I am looking forward to reading The Marsh King's Daugher next.
