The Last Knight by Hilari Bell


PB PURPLE BEL (Series: Knight and Rogue #1) Grades 7-10

The fourth son in a family of wealth and influence, Sir Michael knows he is destined for a life of tedium as a bookkeeper. In rebellion, he decides to pursue the path of a “knight errant”…a noble righter of wrongs and a rescuer of damsels in distress. With his indentured page (the rogue), Michael rescues a woman imprisoned in a tower only to discover that she indeed is a murderess. Under arrest, Michael is released when his father pays a large sum to the authorities. In return, Michael becomes his indentured servant and the only way Michael can be released from his debt is to recapture the murderess. Each chapter in the novel alternates between Michael and Fisk. Michael is honest beyond belief and Fisk is a con man, a liar and a cheat. Their adventures are both exciting and entertaining.
