{"product_id":"the-champion-elizabeth-chadwick-9780751538694","title":"The Champion","description":"Alexander and Hervi de Montroi, half-brothers with no inheritance, meet in France. Hervi is a professional jouster and Alexander, fleeing the beatings of an English monastery, needs a trade. Despite misgivings, Hervi takes him on as his squire, introducing him to the travellers' immoral lifestyle. He befriends a girl, Monday, taking care of her after her parents die until, pregnant with Alexander's child, she leaves, finding shelter in a castle as a seamstress. Noticed by King John, she becomes his mistress in England, bearing his son and gaining a house. Meanwhile, Stefan has returned to England too, in the pay of an Earl - they meet again at court and, now older, fall in love. They have the King's blessing, but Monday's grandfather, now heirless, sees her as a way to gain power. She escapes his kidnapping to be reunited with Alexander on the land granted to him by the Earl.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth Chadwick\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0751538698\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780751538694\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sphere\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/04\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.75h x 5.00w x 1.50d","brand":"Elizabeth Chadwick","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46334396367103,"sku":"9780751538694","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c4f42974-518e-46c3-b63f-d96dff8e6992.jpg?v=1731466728","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-champion-elizabeth-chadwick-9780751538694","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
