Brombury
 
1346. When Hugh Brombury’s lack of prowess on the battlefield puts him in poor standing with the stern Sir Leland Lockwood, his future as a squire seems uncertain. Then he receives a message from his former mentor, the renowned Sir Guilliam the Great. But it raises more questions than it answers.

To clear his name before his execution, Guilliam requires Hugh’s immediate aid. Leaving the life of a squire behind, Hugh must brave a dangerous road to reach his friend in time. But the answers he’s looking for lie deep within the woods, where he soon uncovers more than he bargained for…
