YABook of Tormod series.
Templar-Knight-to-be Tormod tries to rescue his estranged older brother from evil agents of the French king in this third installment of his adventures. Too many plot twists hinge on sketchily developed characters whose actions are more convenient than convincing, but the vivid medieval flavor, fast pace, and formal tone may win readers in search of morally unambiguous historical adventure.
