[Please note that the story itself rates five stars, but one star is knocked off for long-running editing issues, including the dreaded to-two's!]Knight of the Realm (The Young Ancient series book three) is an in-depth examination of the ways of the Nobility in the Kingdom of Noram, as seen through the eyes of one young Torrence Baker, who suddenly finds himself being a member of this class.P.S. Power continues to expand the horizons of our young hero, and adds more depth to the cast of characters surrounding Tor.  Indeed, the author offers a re-examination of a traumatic event in young Tor's life, and how it relates to many other characters.  P.S. Power has a wonderful and exquisite ability to stretch and reinterpret events, as told in the previous two books, and make the reader question his impressions and understandings of these characters and their motives.  Who are the real friends and who are the real enemies?  By the end of Kmight of the Realm, you may find yourself having trouble keeping score.I note that the sexual content seems to increase with each subsequent book in the series.  Hence, I recommend this book strictly to adult readers.
