The solitary swan that was darting its scarlet bill among the white pimpernels along the bank suddenly reared its head and oared across the moat. From the shadow of the castle wall it turned a wary eye upon two patches of brilliant color which flaunted into view where birch and yew and ivy overleaned a little bay. A sunny lad in tunic of blue that some one must have chosen to match his eyes came tiptoeing to the shore. This is where the voles live, Odo. Maybe well see one. Voles? Naught but water-rats IW hat do I care for them? The taller boy stepped forward noisily, rolling back his red sleeves. But this is a good place to sail our boats, for theres no wind here to drive them out of reach. The blue-eyed lad watched the lone swan glide away. I always sail my boats in the pool beyond the willows, where I can wade beside them. Mother says tis too deep here in the moat. Aylmar safraid, afraid of being drowned! chanted Odo, setting his boat in the water and pushing it along with a stick.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is the first book in a historical fantasy series and introduces the reader to a time of turmoil in England. A civil war rages between supporters of King Stephen and the supporters of his cousin, Empress Matilda, and the country is filled with violence. In the midst of this chaos, the Earl of Nordene, Aylmar, is determined to protect his people and his lands. Aylmar is a complex and conflicted character, and the author does an excellent job of developing him throughout the story. He is a skilled warrior and a just ruler, but he is also haunted by the death of his mother and the violence of his past. As Aylmar fights to protect his people, he must also confront his own inner demons. The author does a great job contrasting Aylmarâs inner turmoil against the beauty of the English countryside that serves as the backdrop for his story. The author also introduces a cast of well-developed supporting characters who add depth and richness to the story. Laurin de Beauprà , a knight from Poitou, is a loyal friend and confidant to Aylmar. He is a skilled swordsman and a charming companion, but he is also a man with a mysterious past. The author uses Laurin to challenge some of the prevailing ideas of chivalry and courtly love in the period.
