Publisher's Summary

To escape a lifetime of poverty, mercenary Sir Benedict Palmer agrees to one final, lucrative job: help King Henry II's knights seize the traitor Archbishop Thomas Becket at Canterbury Cathedral. But what begins as a clandestine arrest ends in cold blooded murder. And when Fitzurse, the knights' ringleader, kidnaps Theodosia, a beautiful young nun who witnessed the crime, Palmer can sit silently by no longer.

For not only is Theodosia's virtue at stake, so too is the secret she unknowingly carries - a secret he knows Fitzurse will torture out of her. Now Palmer and Theodosia are on the run, strangers from different worlds forced to rely only on each other as they race to uncover the hidden motive behind Becket's grisly murder - and the shocking truth that could destroy a kingdom.

Forget this Knights tale.

there were times I got frustrated, and shouted out abuse at the main girl character. my objective was to listen to something that would cure my insomnia. This story is dragged out and unbelievable.

dark but absorbing

I couldn't stop listening to this story even though I felt let down continually as my hopes for uplifting outcomes evaporated.
Extremely well written and I will go on to read more about the historical characters.
The narrator did a great job. I enjoyed his portrayal of all the characters. He made them real and didn't impose his own personality on them.
The whole way through I was hoping for some happiness and it came but only in the final scene. Still, worth waiting for.
