Armourer's Prentices
'Armourer's Prentices' Summary
Orphaned and cast out by their older brother, young Ambrose and Stephen face an uncertain future. Their search for guidance leads them to their aging uncle and the tantalizing possibility of finding their long-lost ne'er-do-well maternal uncle, said to have made his fortune in the king's court. As they embark on this journey, they encounter a cast of colorful characters and the complexities of 16th-century England. Ambrose, the elder and more pragmatic of the two, grapples with the weight of responsibility and the desire for a stable life. Stephen, on the other hand, is driven by dreams of adventure and the allure of the unknown. Their contrasting aspirations and the challenges they face along the way illuminate the themes of family, ambition, and the search for one's place in the world.Book Details
