Edward III is at war with Scotland. Nineteen-year-old Sir Harry de Lyon yearns to prove himself, and when powerful English baron, William Montagu, invites him on a secret mission with a dozen elite knights, he jumps at the chance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: normal; margin: 12.0pt 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThey ride north, to a crumbling Scottish keep, capturing the feral, half-starved boy within and putting the other inhabitants to the sword. But nobody knows why the flower of English knighthood snuck over the border to capture a savage, dirty teenage boy. Montagu gives the boy to Harry as his squire, with only two rules: don't let him escape, and convert him to the English cause.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: normal; margin: 12.0pt 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAt first, it's hopeless. The Scottish boy is surly and violent, and eats anything that isn't nailed down. Then Harry begins to notice things: that, as well as Gaelic, the boy speaks flawless French, with an accent much different from Harry's Norman one. That he can read Latin too. And when Harry finally convinces the boy – Iain mac Mail Coluim – to cut his filthy curtain of hair, the face revealed is the most beautiful thing Harry has ever seen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: normal; margin: 12.0pt 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWith Iain as his squire, Harry wins tournament after tournament and becomes a favourite of the King. But underneath the pageantry smoulder twin secrets: Harry and Iain's growing passion for each other, and Iain's mysterious heritage. As England hurtles towards war once again, these secrets will destroy everything Harry holds dear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 6.0pt; line-height: normal;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003ePaperback: 520pp\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003ePublisher: Wilton Square (May 2020)\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eISBN: \u003cspan\u003e9781806771615\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Wilton Square","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53653658501447,"sku":null,"price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0920\/3784\/1223\/files\/9781806771615.jpg?v=1775402070","url":"https:\/\/wiltonsquarebooks.com\/products\/the-scottish-boy","provider":"Wilton Square","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
