Book Description

Publication Date: March 27, 2002

With a new introduction by Gail L. Anderson. The Cardinal and the anti-cardinalists square off in this story of chivalry and cunning set in seventeenth century France. Sent by the Cardinal to woo the eldest daughter and heir to a powerful family, Andrea Mancini falls hopelessly in love with the wrong daughter. He is threatened by assassination and ambush, and his loyal guard, Gaston de Luynes must outwit and outfight the anti-cardinalists to keep young Andrea safe. The sparks and clashing sounds of steel against steel, of love placed and misplaced, and foiled plans of the powerful make this one of Sabatini’s most thrilling romances.

This review is from: The Lovers of Yvonne (Paperback)

What a pleasure to read a book written in 1902, and find a fast moving, pulse pounding adventure story written for adults. If your taste runs to adventurous tales of old like 'The Scarlet Pimpernel' or the entertaining historical romances of Georgette Heyer you will be pleased by the pen of Rafael Sabintini. Mr. Sabintini wrote dozens of historical novels including 'Captain Blood' and 'The Sea Hawk', so this is just the first offering of many from a master storyteller.
