(2) YA Apprentice Edmund narrowly escapes having his hand struck off when a crusader who's joining Richard the Lionhearted agrees to take him along as squire. Edmund's journey across Europe and the subsequent siege are rich in incident and historical detail and charged with frequent violence. With skill and perception, Cadnum holds to Edmund's medieval world view and never ascribes anachronistic feelings about war to the characters.
