The story begins during the War of the Roses in England, but our hero, Gervaise Tresham, soon joins the Knights of St. John in Rhodes. Dedicated to God's service and pious in his personal life, Gervaise uncovers a plot, saves the coast of Italy from the Muslim corsairs, and is knighted by the Grand Prior. After being captured by and escaping from the enemy, the young English knight draws his sword in the defense of Rhodes. He finds himself in a tough position, desiring marriage but having taken a vow of chastity! In the end it is the Roman pontiff himself that gives him the release he needs to wed.

Accent!
Why choose an American narrator for this British history story? His mispronunciations grated so badly ( it’s « Worrick » not « War-wick ») that I switched off after 5 mins. Bad decision, Audible.

Performance :(
the reader's performance almost completely distracted me from the story, sounding robotic at times, the female roles were almost comically bad

Worst Narration Ever!
Could not finish...the narrator was the reason why. Authors should run from this narrator if you want you book listened to.

slow story, but interesting history
I listened to this entire book while traveling 18 hours across the Country. it was good company on the drive and gives different perspectives on people living in times of knights.
