The clearance between the lips was smaller than the width of the bottom of the nock in which the string rested. But with the murder of a knight, herald Simon Merrivale investigates as he believes there is a traitor in Edward's retinue. It truly has a bit of everything that a reader could want – compelling family drama, sweet and endearing romance and suspenseful scenes of war and negotiations where lives hang in the balance.

After the nocks are attached, the vanes or feathers are placed 120 degrees apart on the shaft, just in front of the nock. Can't wait for you to dive into "the rest of the story," as Paul Harvey (for those of you old enough to remember him! Her skills also lent themselves well to welcoming me into the world of various Native American tribes.

Nor Lydia, who longs for Reginald to be free from his self-imposed emotional prison and embrace God's forgiveness - and her love. A hugely absorbing mystery set in Normandy during the Hundred Years War, with intrigue and battles a plenty.

The main character Simon Merrivale, herald to the Prince of Wales, is portrayed convincingly as he is assigned the job of finding who was responsible for killing a newly knighted young man soon after the landing of 1346. The main character is a herald and I really enjoyed learning about this role in the English army - how it conferred a kind of diplomatic immunity as well as having a vital practical purpose in remembering everyone's aristocratic house and allegiances.While there's been untold heartache because of one man, Reginald Aubrey's choice, there also is healing, hope, and deep love that also come from it. With the danger of the Revolutionary War in the background and the drama of two families separated by culture but united by love, faith, and forgiveness, you'll be glued to the pages of this book! The distance that the arrow travels is measured, and the archer who shoots the arrow the furthest distance is declared the winner. This hauntingly, beautiful story with rich historical detail, minor romance threads, and strong characters is one that can be enjoyed by any historical fiction reader. A Flight of Arrows doesn't gloss over the trials and pain; characters do not get the easy way out, but are forced to deal with their mistakes, and also the sin of others.
