I'm not sure there are any other books like it. The time between the time of the last crusade and the discovery of the New World is somewhat of a dead spot in history. This story is set in that time period. This story takes the reader back to 14th century England and sets him-her down there during the time of the 100 Year War in a time of political turmoil and upheaval when little value was placed on human life. A time of brother against brother, father against son. That time in history when chivalry was becoming a thing of the past. When political intrigue and lawlessness assured that no man was safe, not even the king.
