Jack Templeman - The Silver Knight Series

Who is Daniel Cure?

Book One - The Silver Knight...

‘But if that is what they say,’ Jacque spluttered, trying desperately to make sense of it all, ‘then that makes them -’
‘Traitors?’ Arthur offered. ‘They did not proclaim that for fear of causing alarm in the streets, but that is the precise measure of their charge. Treason.’

The year is 1451 and, having faced all but defeat in France, England is on the verge of civil war. Jack Templeman arrives in Kent with his father, full of expectation and ready to start a new life away from the battlefields of Gascony. However, soon after his arrival, a chance set of circumstances leads to his father’s wrongful arrest and hanging. Without time to dwell upon matters, Jacque is rendered an orphan and under threat of arrest by the city guard, another victim of the weak leadership of King Henry VI. Forced to draw upon his every ounce of courage and resolve, Jack forges his survival, eventually taking refuge under the wings of a kindly miller who offers him a new life in Kent.

As the harsh winter of 1453 sets in, the miller’s scheming niece sets about a chain of events that leads to the collapse of their relationship and leaves Jacque in grave peril once again. However, it is the old knight, Sir John Fastolf who rescues Jacque from his setback, offering a huge reward for the chance encounter in which he showed such kindness.
Now a squire under the guidance of Sir William Dallingridge, Jacque becomes embroiled in the tempestuous politics of the royal court, wherein he is exposed to the bitter feud between the Dukes of Somerset and York, the two rival pretenders to the crown of England.

"A deep noise resonated against the timbers of the building as the corner was struck by an object of some apparent significance in the street outside. A strange silence fell amongst the knights as their leader pondered matters with a deft thoughtfulness that belied the grim reality of their plight.
‘My lord,’ the man offered at length. ‘They will break down the door if we do not act.’
‘Then we shall stand and fight,’ Somerset stated defiantly, finally breaking his reverie. ‘Those who wish to join me will be welcomed by God and together we will drink to the King’s health in the Kingdom of Heaven. You are bound by your own will.’"

As the country spirals out of control and towards inevitable bloodshed, will Jacque’s childhood dream of knighthood and glory come to pass? Will he ever overcome the shadows that haunt his past and avenge his father’s death?

    "‘You bear the look of a man who has seen a ghost. And well you might! My name is Jacque Templeman. ‘Maintenant, prepare to meet your final judgement in hell!’"

From the gutters and slums of old London town, to the rolling hills of Kent; from the ancient halls of Westminster Palace to the bloody battleground of St Albans, this is the first Jacque Templeman novel, The Silver Knight, from the period now known as The Wars of the Roses.
