The House of Walderne A Tale of the Cloister and the Forest in the Days of the Barons' Wars

"The House of Walderne" by A. D. Crake is an adventurous tale woven into the turbulent times of the Barons' Wars, and it drops the reader into the lives of those connected to Walderne Castle, especially Sir Hubert and Brother Martin.

The old castle and its people, like the Lord and his children, are at the center, experiencing both conflict and romance tied to the history of the land. Early on, the suspenseful plot pulls in characters like a knight and his squire, who find themselves wrapped up with outlaws one snowy night, exploring what it means to stay true to yourself and weighing what you want against what you must do. Brother Martin will struggle between the wild of the forest and the calling to academics.
