Tom and Rab knew when they joined Parliament's rebel army that life would be tough: the cold; the hunger; the bloody battles. But the real danger begins when the boys are ordered to help Captain Hyde with his secret mission: to find a holy relic said to bestow supernatural powers on its owner. In an England ripped apart by civil war, the two friends follow a trail that leads them from country manor to remote farm house; castle dungeon to abandoned monastery - with the Kings' men never far behind. Always in danger, forever trying to keep one step ahead, can Tom & Rab find the Spear of Destiny - and help the rebels to victory? Lots of action, larger-than-life characters, romance, comedy and thrills, this is that rare thing - a really entertaining historical adventure.
