Reader review
When you can step into a story and consider someone your brother or sister, the author has done their job. I would recommend this book to anyone high school and above. Linda Horne
Product Description William Fylbrigge is ill prepared to claim what is his, by right of blood, and his place among the powerful clan he has been born into. His older brother Thomas doesn't want to share what he thinks is rightfully his, secretly arranging to have the young lad killed in a convenient accident; William could lose everything, including his life. Sean Wilbrun, the son of a common groomsman, transcends the barriers of his class and station when he is elevated to the esteemed ranks of guard for Lord Edward, Duke of Stonehaven. His first assignment, however, is not to wield a sword to protect his duke, but instead to attend to the newly arrived foster son. William and Sean soon form an unlikely duo and a lasting bond as together they face Thomas' accusations of murder and treason.

The story begins well and has a depth of detail that is engaging. However, there is a rough shift in style at the last thirty pages, altering the voice of the piece and quickly tying together several loose details. It leaves a slapdash quality, disrupting the flow of the tale.

A fun medieval story, marred only by the 9 errors I found. If Ms Russell wants a list of those, contact me at amacd55 at gmail dot com.

A medieval coming of age story. Enjoyable first of a series
