description: In this gripping sequel to the award-winning There Will Be Wolves, Karleen Bradford once again shows her immense talent for combining a sizzling plot, fascinating historical detail and real-life characters whose eleventh-century concerns ring surprisingly true with contemporary young readers.Set against the violence of the Holy Crusades, Shadows On A Sword is the tale of Theo, a passionate young knight; Emma, a strong and subversive girl bound by her position in life; and Amalric, a young man ready for war - holy or not. Confronted by life-or-death consequences, the injustices of war and politics and the joys of first love, the trio are believable players in a riveting, yet sensitive coming of age story.
