In the series's third book, Lord Roland and his squire, Pagan, seek asylum in the Abbey of St. Martin to devote their lives to God. Smart-mouthed Pagan uses his quick wits to defend the out-of-his-element Lord Roland and earns himself an enemy in the strict novice-master. Precise, fascinating historical details, snappy dialogue, and well-shaped action drive this fast-paced, humorous medieval tale.
