The Blood of The Fifth Knight by E.M. Powell


The Blood of the Fifth Knight 3England, 1176. King Henry II has imprisoned his rebellious Queen for her failed attempt to overthrow him. But with her conspirators still at large and a failed assassination attempt on his beautiful mistress, Rosamund Clifford, the King must take action to preserve his reign.
Desperate, Henry turns to the only man he trusts: a man whose skills have saved him once before. Sir Benedict Palmer answers the call, mistakenly believing that his family will remain safe while he attends to his King.
As Palmer races to secure his King’s throne, neither man senses the hand of a brilliant schemer, a mystery figure loyal to Henry’s traitorous Queen who will stop at nothing to see the King defeated.
The Blood of the Fifth Knight is an intricate medieval murder mystery and worthy sequel to E.M. Powell’s acclaimed historical thriller The Fifth Knight

My Review:
Five Stars
Copy received for an honest review
This was my first time reading E.M. Powell. I was instantly interested in the story even though I did not read the first book.  I loved the characters and the tension filled environment. Palmer was a great hero and admirable knight. I really enjoyed this story and recommend it to anyone that enjoys history, adventures and knights in shining armor.
