The Prince and the Page: A Story of the Last Crusade

A lively tapestry of late‑medieval Europe opens with a chance encounter between a young royal—Edward, poised to become king—and a mysterious outlaw haunting Alton Wood. Their uneasy alliance pulls the reader into the tangled fortunes of the Montfort family, whose exiled members hide among the forests and battlefields of the final Crusade. As the page discovers secret loyalties and hidden dangers, the story paints a vivid picture of chivalry, betrayal, and the fragile hope of a persecuted lineage.

The narrative blends earnest historical detail with the adventure of a classic romance, offering listeners a feel‑for‑the‑era that is both educational and entertaining. Richly drawn characters navigate court intrigue and the harsh realities of crusading life, while the outlaw‑turned‑protector adds a dash of daring rebellion. It’s a compelling first act that hints at deeper conspiracies without revealing the larger twists that await.
