The King's Cavalier is a very enjoyable read. Blaise de Lalliere is the hero and he really is the foundation of the story. If you've already read Shellabarger's best, then take a look at the King's Cavalier.

John Lanham

Against the violent background of 16th century France, he (Shellabarger) tells the thrill-packed story of Blaise de Lalliere, an impulsive young night who fell in love with the one girl he should never have dreamed of -- Anne Russell, the beautiful redhead desired by the King himself! What happens when Blaise and Anne flee across France, ... , makes an adventure and suspense story that never falters -- and a love story you will never forget!

The King's Cavalier

Samuel Shellabarger

Read an excerpt (opens in a new tab)

A young Frenchman and a young Englishwoman are caught in the wild plots and counterplots surrounding the Bourbon conspiracy against Francis I in 16th century France. Complete with rich pageantry, a jealousy-maddened king, an evil nobleman, Sire Francois the Sorcerer, wolf hounds and mad gallops across the French countryside, master story teller and scholar, Samuel Shellabarger has once again created an adventure and suspense story that never falters.

Shellabarger's style of writing is refreshing for its compact, richly painted, and realistic dialog (with just the right touch of French); concise but informative narrative; and most importantly, a story that is flawlessly balanced and always compelling. His work has the enthusiasm of Alexander Dumas without the early 19th century verbosity of style.

Nothing to weigh you down and everything you could ever ask for from a swashbuckling historical romance.
