Cortez de Bretagne is a famous knight from a reknowned and respected family.  He is dark haird and darked eyed.  He is half Spaniard and half Welsh.  He has suffered tragedy in his life with the death of his wife and daughter, three years prior to the Battle of Falkirk.  At this battle, Cortez the honorible knight that he is, makes a promise to a friend, which he intends to keep and see through.Diamantha de Bocage Edlington also comes from an impressive lineage of famous knights.  Her father, Sir Michael de Bocage served Wiliam de Wolfe, her grandmother was the daughter of Christopher de Lohr and her great grandfather was Ajax de Velt. Any one who has read this author's other books will recognize all of these names.  Throughout this magnificent story there will be even more names of others you will recognize.  Diamantha has the eyes of Ajax de Velt, two-colored and is beautiful with Reddish brown hair.I try not to do spoilers so here it is...  these two will meet and the battle, the heartfelt journey and quest begin for all involved.This magnificent book, had me at 3%.  What do I mean?  WelI, I can tell you at 3% of this book I was sobbing and had to stop reading.  Throughout the reading of this book I had to literally have a box of Kleenex next to me.  It was that emotional and heart wrenching for me personally.I normally read a book a day.  I could not do this with The Questing because I had to stop reading because I was emotionally drained.  It took me 3 nights to finish it.  Now this is definately not a negative, on the contrary it is a huge compliment to this gifted and fabulous author.  I will honestly tell you, I have never come across a Medieval book that has done this to me to this degree.  Only one other book came close in this genre and it was Lord of the Shadows and I can tell you it was not to the degree of this book, The Questing.I highly recommend this book.  This author slings you over her shoulder and deposits you into such an emotional journey with these characters in The Questing.  She has outdone herself.I can only hope I piqued your interest and you can obtain The Questing and enjoy it as much as I did.  For me The Questing is a keeper, which I will re-read over and over, over the years.
