"Sir Durwin must overcome a cloak-and-dagger plot to usurp the king in the final novel of the Enchanter General, a historical fantasy trilogy set in twelfth century England. King Henry is dead; Richard the Lionheart now rules England. The new king does not believe in magic, and is interested only in a crusade to recapture Jerusalem. But his crusade soon stalls, and while he is away, his brother, John, and his supposed ally, Philip of France, are conspiring to steal his kingdom. Richard's mother, Queen Eleanor, sends Sir Durwin, Enchanter General of England, out to Palestine, where he must convince the skeptical king that a loyal magician can be a valuable aide. Meanwhile, King Philip has turned all of Europe into a trap for Richard. The moment the Lionheart sets foot there, he will be arrested and imprisoned for life. It is up to Durwin, aided by his old friend William Legier, to see Richard safely home again and to save the kingdom from falling into the hands of the sadistic and treacherous Prince John . .

This final installment of the Enchanter General series is set against the backdrop of Richard the Lionheart and the third Crusade, and despite the magical touches is actually reasonably historically accurate (except for the ending, but I won't spoil that!).
It was a bittersweet read for me. Sweet because it was a hugely anticipated book in one of my favourite series by one of my favourite authors. But also sad, due to Duncan's incredibly sad passing almost a year ago. Indeed the dedication in this book was done by his family, and I will admit to having to put the book down again immediately until the tears dried.
The book itself was everything I'd hoped for. A little more grown-up in tone from the previous two books, but then Durwin himself is also more grown-up. In fact, at 48 he was considered quite the old man! (the book being set 24 years on from book two)
I'm very grateful that Duncan was able to finish this series. He will be missed. (
