James Eckert--AKA the dragon knight--goes off on another adventure with his friend Sir Brian Neville-Smith. Jim continues his development as a magician who can turn into a dragon and do other transformations and spells at will--but who is warned to be conservative in his use of magic. Jim and his wife Angie originated in our 20th century, but were somehow transported back to an alternate 14th century version of our world where magic is real. Thus the reader gets to learn about the 14th century through the eyes of someone with a 20th century understanding of the world. I liked this aspect of the book, and I also liked this one in that Jim's wife Angie takes a much more active role. This is a good solid fantasy adventure with the added bonus of learning some bits of history along the way. ( )

First words
For six days and nights, the wind blew steadily out of the northwest; so that the servants huddled in their quarters, wrapped in everything warm they owned, and thought they heard voices of dark prophecies in the wind.
