However, one man decides to go north, into the jaws of the Scottish horde. Young squire Richard de Mauville is on a mission: to find and return the body of his beloved knight and mentor to his home and then to fight on. Strange, then, that it will be an Englishman who stands in his way...

About the author

Geoff Martin was born in Epsom, Surrey, but lived for most of his childhood in Ruislip, Middlesex. A "failed" pupil of a good school, he took up catering becoming a chef in the West End of London, moving on to retail management in Norwich and from there to running a small stud farm with his wife, Lou, where they bred both show and racehorses. Retiring from the equine world and latterly with little to do, Martin has taken up writing as a pastime.
