I read the "The Angel and the Sword" in one day! It was an awesome book full of adventure and betrayal. I was with the characters throughout their amazing journey. I love how the book was written. The "angel blog" was great.
Raphael lives a fun and entertaining life as a young court jester for the French court of Pope Clement VI. He starts his morning off as he usually does by feeding the pigeons outside of his window. As he looks out of his window overlooking Pope Clements courtyard, he spots a soldier with a crossbow on the opposite roof watching the Pope closely as he walks across the lawn. He decides that the soldier is no ordinary soldier but is an assassin looking to kill the Pope. In an endeavor to save his beloved Pope he decides to try and defeat the armed assassin himself. Raphael, who is only armed with his jugglers pin, climbs out his window and makes his way across the roof. Before he is close enough to fight, the assassin discovers his presence. Desperately Raphael throws the juggling pin, but misses due to the assassin's warning and quick reflexes. The assassin gives him a wicked smile and then shoots the arrow harmlessly into the center of the courtyard. The assassin sets the crossbow on the roof, smiles, and then slips through a window. Now the alarm has sounded in the courtyard and the Pope's guards begin to search up on the roof for the culprit. Obviously, the guards suspect Raphael is the assassin because he is the only one on the roof and he is standing by the crossbow. Raphael desperately pleads that he is innocent and the reason he was on the roof was that he was trying to fight the real assassin, not kill the Pope. The soldiers and the Pope ignore his pleas and send him down into the dungeon.
To find out if Raphael survives this ordeal, you must read this awesome book! I loved it! I would recommend "The Angel and the Sword" for ages 9 to 13.
