Love At Arms: An Adventure Classic By Rafael Sabatini! AAA+++

Count Francesco battles the forces of the Duke for the attentions of the Prince's niece in this rousing novel that reminds us of the Romance in Adventure. Sabatini's "Love-at-Arms" is an exuberant romp through love and war, heroism and treachery in late 15th-Century Italy. A strong and noble Count must save the Prince's beautiful niece from the unwanted attentions of both a loathsome Duke and a treacherous courtier. Live the siege of the impregnable castle-fortified with much wine and little gunpowder-as the count turns the tables on his enemies in hilarious fashion. You'll see why Sabatini is considered the all-time greatest writer of historical adventure.
