Putting a contemporary spin on her favorite themes of St. George, the dragon, knights and all things medieval, Ellen Ekstrom, author of The Legacy and Armor of Light, brings us A Knight on Horseback. A story that's very different from her usual historical fiction, Ms. Ekstrom brings us a character just like anyone you know, a busy working mother struggling to keep it all together. An attractive, intelligent woman, Violet Ellison ends up connecting with an old friend and a fantasy-come-to-life. When she realizes that life isn't really what it seems, she's faced with a decision that will affect her family, her career and her entire life.

Pages: 4
Published: May 2009

In the autumn of 1327, Florence, in the heart of Tuscany, is a small town of wool merchants, bankers and artisans rising to prominence in international trade and politics, supplanting the ancient noble families living in the town and in the countryside. The feudal life is dying, and Francesco Guidi, count of Romena, will not go quietly. Francesco’s constant battle for control of what is rightfully his is compounded by insecurity, failure, an unhappy past and a girl named Serafina, whose own past is linked to his by a series of events he has never been aware of until he arrives in Florence and begins the struggle of his life.
