Elizabeth Chadwick - Shadows And Strongholds (Fitzwarin #1) You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login Nothing worthwhile is easy. Not becoming a knight. Not when you don't fit in anywhere. Brunin Fitzwarin knows this better than anyone. Lost in his own home, he's now a knight-in-training to the Lord of Ludlow - and still utterly alone. That is, until the youngest daughter of the house befriends him. But England is in turmoil, and Brunin must fight with his lord to support King Stephen for the English crown. As the war rages on and his particularly close to home, Brunin must defeat the shadows of his childhood and take on the mantle of knight, confronting the future head on. ** From Booklist Set in England in 1148, Chadwicks historical coming-of-age novel follows the grueling life of tormented 10-year-old Brunin FitzWarin as he makes the journey to becoming a war hero. He is bullied by his older brothers and verbally abused by his grandmother, while his submissive mother sits in the shadows, until his father, having survived an assassination attempt by cohorts of his enemy, Gilbert de Lacy, decides to send Brunin away to live with Joscelin de Dinan, Lord of Ludlow. It is at Lord Joscelins home that Brunin learns how to conquer his internal and external demons. He also falls in love with the youngest daughter, Hawise. The two become closer as the war between Ludlow, Gilbert de Lacy, and Brunins own family rages on, and Brunin must draw on all that he has learned to help defeat his enemies and save his land.
