offspring is snatched." -- Genre Go Round Reviews

quick-paced action. At the risk of sounding cliche, there really is
never a dull moment in this novel." -- Axe for the Frozen Sea

books, of bringing characters that have been dead for 800 years to
life on the page." -- A Girl Walks Into a Bookstore

researches her material, and presents the story eloquently and

"Highly recommended to all readers of historical fiction,
especially those with an interest in the medieval era and English
history." -- Confessions of an Avid Reader
"I did very much enjoy A Place Beyond Courage. It is a good look at
the civil war between Stephen and Matilda for the future of the
English throne and John FitzGilbert is a fascinating character, if
somewhat less sympathetic than his famous son." -- Devourer of
Books

afternoon." -- Fresh Fiction
"Immerse your senses in the world created by Chadwick; be
intrigued, entertained and enlightened by the deft skill of a
master storyteller as she weaves a course through the turbulent
years of a battle for the Crown with passion and finesse. For fans
of William Marshal and Chadwick's The Greatest Knight and The
Scarlet Lion, this is a must-read." -- RT Book Reviews
"Oh, I just LOVED this book! It finally makes the William Marshal
story complete." -- Lizzieenglish
"Once again, I can't stress enough that Elizabeth Chadwick is an
amazing writer who makes you feel as though you are living the
history. " -- McArthur Book Review
"The author has brought to life a little-known minor nobleman in a
time so remote from our own. She makes England of the 12th century
vivid and frightening and filled with the same emotions and
problems we grapple with today: greed, political uncertainty,
immense courage, passion and love. Highly recommended." --
Historical Novels Review
"The author's attention to detail is amazing, she really makes the
reader feel like they are at medieval court." -- In the Hammock
Book Reviews
"This is a superb read about a lesser known historical figure. The
pace never lets up, the author's eye for historical detail and
accuracy is immaculate, and in John Marshal, she has fleshed out
the character of a truly remarkable man." -- Romantic Historical
Lovers
"This is truly Ms. Chadwick's forte; taking big swaths of medieval
history and reducing it to the personal level. She lets her reader
get a feel for what the life would have been like - whether through
descriptions of food, clothing or even the smell of a washerwoman -
it all brings the period to vivid life for the person lucky enough
to be reading the book." -- Broken Teepee
"This was the third Elizabeth Chadwick book that I read and really
enjoyed. Since then I have worked my through most of her back list!
Still a few to go and I am being very slow, savouring my journey
through them knowing that once I get through them all then I will
have to wait impatiently for each new release." -- Historical
Tapestry
"Those who love accurate historical fiction, exciting characters, a
plot filled with suspense and action, high emotions and surprises,
will probably love this book. " -- Long and Short Reviews
