Count Francesco battles the forces of the Duke for the attentions of the Prince's niece in this rousing adventure that reminds us of the Romance in Adventure. Sabatini's Love-at-Arms is an exuberant romp through love and war, heroism and treachery in late 15th-Century Italy. A strong and noble Count must save the Prince's beautiful niece from the unwanted attentions of both a loathsome Duke and a treacherous courtier. Live the siege of the impregnable castle with much wine and little powder, as the count almost literally turns the tables on his enemies. You'll see why Sabatini is considered the all-time greatest writer of historical adventure.
