When young Fisk gets caught being a crook he is sentenced to be hanged. That is until at his public execution, Sir Michael Sevenson, an eighteen year old knight errant, says that he can repay Fisks debt so that Fisk will not be hanged. In return Fisk has to be Sir Michael’s loyal squire until Michael claims his debt repaid. At first Fisk finds this troubling but through out the novel Fisk will come to grow fonder of Sir Michael, up until the point where Michael unknowingly helps a murderess escape. After that both Fisk and Michael are in trouble with the law. Can they find the murderess and bring her back to justice, or will she kill freely?
This reviewer liked this book a lot once getting past chapter one. One might ask “why not five stars then?” The answer is because in the beginning this reader became very, very confused. Once reading the book the reader will begin to under stand how the chapters work and become almost attached to the characters. This book would have gotten five stars had it not been for the beginning. Other than that, all of the characters fit right together along with the plot. When Sir Michael questions Fisk upon his opinion of whether the murderess is guilty or not, the reader must also ask themselves the same question, more than once. This book is a great read and it does not have too thin of a spine either. This reviewer would definitely recommend this book to teenagers and adult readers everywhere who like a story with an adventure.
