{"product_id":"books-shadows-and-strongholds-by-elizabeth-chadwick","title":"Shadows and Strongholds","description":"A Mediaeval tale of pride and strife, of coming of  age in a world where chivalry is a luxury seldom afforded, especially  by men of power.  An awkward misfit, loathed by his powerful and autocratic  grandmother, nine-year-old Fulke FitzWarin leaves his family to be  fostered in the household of Joscelin de Dinan, Lord of Ludlow. Here  Fulke will learn knightly arts, but before he can succeed, he must  overcome the deep-seated doubts that hold him back.  Hawise FitzWarin is Joscelin's youngest daughter and she befriends  Fulke. As they grow up, an implacable enemy threatens Ludlow and as  the pressure mounts, their friendship changes until one fateful day  they find themselves staring at each other across a divide.  Not only does Fulke have to overcome the shadows of his childhood,  he faces a Welsh threat to his family's lands, and the way he feels  about Hawise endangers all his hard won confidence. As the menace to  Ludlow intensifies, he must either confront the future head on, or  fail on all counts, not knowing if Hawise stands with or against  him.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53671587217681,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780316860338.jpg?v=1781516634","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-shadows-and-strongholds-by-elizabeth-chadwick","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
