Former crusader turned bone-pedlar Richard Straccan is up to his neck in trouble. The woman he loves has been accused of sorcery and is in mortal danger, but he cannot go to her.

An excellent series.,

This review is from: Pendragon Banner (Paperback)
Ms. Hamilton, who is currently writing the 4th book in the series but is quite ill so there is no knowing when it may be done, does a masterful job portraying the period and the conflicting roles religion and magic played in people's lives. There is humor and suspense in a fast-moving story. This is a marvelous book in an excellent series. (Later note: Ms. Hamilton passed away in February 2005. Her 4th book remained unfinished.)

This review is from: The Pendragon Banner (Hardcover)
I was disappointed with this one. The description was for a used hardcover, but what arrived was an overly worn old library book. The condition was poor, and although it arrived in a timely manner, I would not use this vendor again.
