Gave this 2 of 5 stars. This had sex scenes.
The Archbishop of Canterbury opposed King Henry. Knights and others took sides. The city
of Canterbury was dangerous during this period.
Queen Eleanor supported lady knights to be trained at St. Jude's Abbey and to learn sword-
fighting (with a smaller, lighter sword) & use of bows and arrows. Then they'd do her bidding.
Queen E instructed cloistered nun Avisa to protect the Queen's godson, Christian, who was
a trained knight. And to steer him away from Canterbury. Why couldn't he protect himself?
These tropes required suspension of disbelief.
Avisa pretended she needed the hero's assist. He traveled w/ his brother and his page.
Avisa humiliated the hero in front of friends and foes. She had to prove her worth. I didn't
want her to be a doormat, nor did I prefer her to be boastful. I doubt a cloistered nun would
fall into lust like this one did. I finished this book- but why?
