I've been busy and not blogging inclined lately, but I don't think anyone actually reads this so who cares?!
The Falcons of Montabard
Summary from Publisher:
In the aftermath of tragedy and scandal, Sabin FitzSimon, illegitimate son of a Norman earl, leaves England for the Holy Land in search of a new beginning. At first it seems impossible as the demons from his past life return to haunt him. There is more scandal and banishment, and Sabin finds his back to the wall. In the heat and dust, magnificence and danger of Northern Syria, he must either face himself, or be vanquished. Annais, daughter of Edmund Strongfist is a quiet, convent-raised young woman when she accompanies her father to their new life in the Holy Land. Her encounters with Sabin FitzSimon leave her bewildered, desirous, and more than a little hostile. Bravely facing up to heartache, an arranged marriage, war and death, she falls deeply in love with the country and its people. But it will take more than love to secure what she holds dear, including Sabin FitzSimon. It will take courage, endurance and raw determination to succeed...
It has been a while since I read this about a month ago. I enjoyed the Falcons of Montabard enough to want to seek out more books by Chadwick.
Sabin is an illegitimate child of a Norman Earl, and he is caught rollicking with the King's mistress when he is dismissed from court, and decides that he's going to go away and turn over a new leaf. A lot of interesting things happen to Sabin, and I think he's a good character, I liked him a lot. I don't want to say much because I don't want to give the story away so you'll have to try it out yourself.
