Book Description
He whom they called the Tavern Knight laughed an evil laugh-such a laugh as might fall from the lips of Satan in a sardonic moment.He sat within the halo of yellow light shed by two tallow candles, whose sconces were two empty bottles, and contemptuously he eyed the youth in black, standing with white face and quivering lip in a corner of the mean chamber. Then he laughed again, and in a hoarse voice, sorely suggestive of the bottle, he broke into song. He lay back in his chair, his long, spare legs outstretched, his spurs jingling to the lilt of his ditty whose burden ran: On the lip so red of the wench that's spedHis passionate kiss burns, still-O!For 'tis April time, and of love and wineYouth's way is to take its fill-O!Down, down, derry-do!So his cup he drains and he shakes his reins, And rides his rake-helly way-O!She was sweet to woo and most comely, too, But that was all yesterday-O!Down, down, derry-do!The lad started forward with something akin to a shiver."Have done," he cried, in a voice of loathing, "or, if croak you must, choose a ditty less foul!""Eh?" The ruffler shook back the matted hair from his lean, harsh face, and a pair of eyes that of a sudden seemed ablaze glared at his companion; then the lids drooped until those eyes became two narrow slits-catlike and cunning-and again he laugh

Book Description
'He whom they called the Tavern Knight laughed an evil laugh - such a laugh as the pious might conceive on the lips of Satan.' Thus begins Sabatini's masterful romance of the life of a Tavern King - a story of swashbuckling adventure and murderous action. Unusually for Sabatini, he has turned to English history to provide the backdrop for this thrilling tale.The Author: Rafael Sabatini was born on 29 April 1875 in Jesi, Italy, the only son of Maestro-Cavaliere Vincenzo Sabatini and his English wife, Anna Trafford, both of whom were opera singers. He was first educated in Zug, Switzerland, and then in Portugal, but finally settled in England where he married Ruth Dixon (from whom he was divorced in 1932) and became a British citizen in 1918, having worked in War Office intelligence during the First World War.His first novel, The Tavern Knight, was published in 1904, and more novels followed before his first major success The Sea Hawk which was published just after the start of the war. This then led to renewed interest in his earlier novels and assured Sabatini an ardent and loyal following.

Book Description
Prince Roland comes home from the war to bury his father and see his sister on the throne. He sneaks out to his favorite tavern for nostalgia's sake. It's the place where he kissed a man for the first time, the place where he used to carouse with the lover he buried on a battlefield. Roland expects to enjoy some anonymity and perhaps flirt with a few strangers for old time's sake. He does not expect to find a fascinating scholar from out of town--a lonely young man with beautiful eyes and an obvious longing to be touched, buried beneath a prickly demeanor. The man clearly has his secrets, but so does Roland, and their unexpected chemistry makes him feel alive for the first time in months. Roland exerts all his knightly charm and is rewarded by the promise of a second date. He figures he'll need something to look forward to tomorrow, since he must spend the day in council with his family's sworn enemy--a necromancer whom his sister has rashly invited to consult about the war.
