Martin,
son of Sir Anselm of the Hollow, risks his life in more ways than one
in this fast-paced story of Cornwall in the year 1200. King Richard is
dead and John is king, a ruler ever ready for more money in his
treasury whether it comes there honestly or not. When the Baron Eric
mysteriously disappears, his young daughter Rosamund must bear the
increasing burden of his absence.
The moody Sir Basil, distant relation and heir, has taken over the
castle-and would not be pleased if Eric should ever return. In an
unguarded moment of genuine gratitude, Sir Basil invites young Martin
to come to the castle as a page and squire. Martin is swiftly drawn
into Rosamund's troubles and into a few of his own before the tale
reaches its dramatic climax.
