Description
It is early summer in 1535 and seventeen-year-old Sir Peter Salt believes he has discovered a source of iron ore on his estate at Applestoke. Since it lies within the royal forest he visits the capital, Nieuport, to secure the deeds to the site of the mine. When he arrives he is pressurised to represent Voravia as its champion in a contest to decide the ownership of the strategic Saints Islands.
The sixteen year old Queen of Voravia, Princess Katherine, decides to visit Trois in neighbouring Sloronia to support Voravia’s champion. Whilst there she meets the king of Sloronia’s younger brother, Duke d’Urbin and the ambitious Cardinal Bishop of Trois. The contest pushes Peter to the limit. The result is a surprise as is the aftermath.
There are no magic swords or flying horses to come to their aid, Kate and Peter have to survive by the use of their brains and courage.
