Sir Durwin must overcome a cloak-and-dagger plot to usurp the king in
the final novel of the Enchanter General, a historical fantasy trilogy
set in twelfth century England.
King Henry is dead; Richard the Lionheart now rules England. The new
king does not believe in magic, and is interested only in a crusade to
recapture Jerusalem.
But his crusade soon stalls, and while he is away, his brother, John,
and his supposed ally, Philip of France, are conspiring to steal his
kingdom. Richard's mother, Queen Eleanor, sends Sir Durwin, Enchanter
General of England, out to Palestine, where he must convince the
skeptical king that a loyal magician can be a valuable aide.
Meanwhile, King Philip has turned all of Europe into a trap for Richard.
The moment the Lionheart sets foot there, he will be arrested and
imprisoned for life. It is up to Durwin, aided by his old friend William
Legier, to see Richard safely home again and to save the kingdom from
falling into the hands of the sadistic and treacherous Prince John . .
