Synopsis
There is a fury in England that none shall suppress - and when it breaks forth it will shake the throne' 1264 Storm clouds are gathering as Simon de Montfort and the barons of the realm challenge the power of Henry III. The barons demand reform; the crown demands obedience. England is on the brink of civil war. Adam de Norton, a young squire devoted to the virtues of chivalry, longs only to be knighted, and to win back his father's lands. Then a bloody hunting accident leaves him with a new master: the devilish Sir Robert de Dunstanville, who does not hesitate to use the blackest stratagems in pursuit of victory. Following Robert overseas, Adam is introduced to the ruthless world of the tournament, where knights compete for glory and riches, and his new master's methods prove brutally effective. But as England plunges into violence, Robert and Adam must choose a side in a battle that will decide the fate of the kingdom. Will they fight for the king, for de Montfort - or for themselves? Searingly vivid and richly evocative, Battle Song is tale of friendship and chivalry, rivalry and rebellion, and the medieval world in all its colour and darkness.
My Review
This was a great story that I really enjoyed. It was very interesting and easy to get into. I listened to the audiobook and really liked the narrator. I thought the story was well written and contained some great atmosphere. I love stories like this one that spark emotions within me as it makes for a brilliant reading experience. The characters were interesting and were just right for the period. I definitely recommend giving this book a go. I loved the jousting in this book it definitely had that knights tale vibe about it.
So much praise goes out to the author and publishers for creating an interesting story. I just loved the ending and the section at the end telling us more about the history of the time period .
