Autumn, 14th century Gascony. In a forest where leaves burn russet and gold, two brothers walk as peasants but dream as kings. Gaston and Raymond De Brocas are heirs to a noble lineage, yet they have lived their whole lives at a humble mill, their birthright reduced to their mother's dying whispers about Basildene and the enemy who stole it: the Sieur de Navailles. When a scornful nobleman forces their hand, the twins must abandon the only world they have known and venture into a treacherous landscape of castle courts, chivalric ideals, and the machinery of war. Everett-Green crafts a stirring adventure about two young men determined to reclaim a legacy that was stolen before they could even speak. The Black Prince holds their fate in his hands, and the path to justice leads through knightly tournaments, battlefield valor, and the moral quagmire between honor and ambition. For readers who cherish medieval romance and historical tales of brotherhood forged in the fire of righteous purpose.
