| Summary | "With Ring of Shield" by Knox Magee is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. Set in the backdrop of 15th century England, the book revolves around themes of knightly valor, court intrigue, and personal relationships. The narrative follows the main character, Walter Bradley, a loyal servant to King Edward IV, and his encounters with Sir Frederick Harleston, as they navigate the complexities of court life and prepare for military battles. The opening of the story introduces Walter Bradley, who reflects on the shifting dynamics of life at court, contrasting the serene ideals of scholarship with the thrill of martial action. He meets Sir Frederick Harleston, a newcomer from Calais, just before a significant expedition to Scotland. Their conversation reveals the brewing tensions at the court, as they discuss Duke Richard's reputation and the impending dangers of their journey. This sets the stage for a tale filled with battles, relationships, and the intricate dance of power within the royal court, hinting at the adventurous and tumultuous events to come.
