About this book

In the Days of Chivalry by Evelyn Everett-Green whisks listeners into the age of the Black Prince, where honor, adventure, and the code of knighthood shape every life. This historical fiction novel unfolds amid the sunlit forests and stormy battlefields of medieval Gascony, following two closely bonded young men whose resemblance and fortunes entwine with the politics and chivalric expectations of 14th-century England and France. Everett-Green’s lyrical prose paints autumnal woodlands and the clashing world of tournaments, sieges, and courtly duty, while exploring themes of friendship, courage, identity, and the moral demands of chivalry. Rich in period detail yet accessible in tone, the story balances personal coming-of-age drama with the larger sweep of war, loyalty, and social customs during the Black Prince’s campaigns. Listeners will encounter vivid atmosphere, gallant exploits, and moments of quiet reflection that illuminate medieval life without modern anachronism. Perfect for fans of historical fiction and medieval adventure, In the Days of Chivalry appeals to listeners who love immersive period stories, character-driven narratives, and tales of knighthood and honor. Ideal for family listening or anyone seeking a classic chivalric tale.
