Return of the Knight

Border Knight #2

by Griff Hosker

Sir Thomas and his new bride, Lady Margaret, have been forced to leave the Baltic. They cannot go to England and so he heads for Anjou where he hopes to take over the old manor of Sir Leofric. Upon his arrival he finds himself thrown into a world of intrigue. Prince Arthur had been the chosen heir of King Richard but King John had taken not only the throne but also claimed the lands of Normandy, Maine and Anjou. Even before he has taken charge of his new manor he finds threats from the French as well as King John. With his handful of men he has to carve out a home for himself whilst fending off enemies on all sides.

About the author

I was born in 1950 in Lancashire and attended a boy’s grammar school. After qualifying as an English and Drama teacher in 1972, I worked in the North East of England for the next 35 years. During that time I did write, mainly plays, pantos and musicals for the students at the three schools in which I worked.

When I stopped teaching I set up my own consultancy firm and worked as an adviser in schools and colleges in the North East of England. The new Conservative Government ended that avenue of work and in 2010 I found that I had time on my hands; having started work at the age of 15 I found the lack of work not to my liking and used the time to research the Roman invasion of Britain and begin to create a novel. The result was The Sword of Cartimandua.

My decision to begin writing was one of the best I have ever taken.

Reviews

[Corey · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you read my review of the first book of this series you will see that I am digging this series of books. This book continues the tale of Sir Thomas and it is full of everything a story about a knight should have, courage, honor, treachery, love and lots and lots of action. On to book three and more enjoyment!

Another action packed heroic tsle

It seems that Hosker is writing to formula with tales that feature a noble and brave hero who encounters obstacles regularly and overcomes yet unlike similar authors uses a pace and a descriptive tale to drag the reader along and keep him interested and absorbed.

Great Book!

I couldn't put it down. Griff hosker has done it again. I find myself transport merry Old England, where I am surrounded by men at arms,knights, and above all, archers. They come to life, wih all o the sound and fury of being there. Bernard Cornwell fans there is another star on th horizon.
