      I came fully awake as I sat up and cracked my head on the thwart of my upturned canoe. The pain cleared my head. I felt under my bedroll for my knife, hoping I hadn’t made enough noise to attract the attention of whatever—whoever?—had waked me. I did

      York, October 1644 Before I’ve even mustered the courage to knock, the door to the townhouse flings open. I drop my hand. “It is me, John Falmouth,” I say and wince at how loud my voice carries into the night. My greeting falters when I look up and n

      My heavy blade crunched through the evil knight's pauldron and collarbone to split his sternum, and I withdrew it with a sharp jerk of my arm. Then I looked at his companion and said, Get ready, rot-brain. You're going to hell next.

      A big man, the skull-masked warrior charged me with speed unexpected in such a large frame. We met, and my sword rang against his axe in a few thunderous clashes before I managed to knock him off balance. I raised my sword and stepped in for the kill.

      I felt a terrible pain in my back and stomach, and looked down to see a large, blue-bladed sword sticking out of my body. Apparently, I hadn't quite killed the master of the castle yet. His helm had saved him from the last bite of my blade, and now I was paying the price.

      His corpse fell away, and I tried to turn back towards his furious guard. I screamed as his axe bit into my shoulder, but my return blow to the breastplate sent him reeling. I brought my blade down, chopping through his skull down to the hollow of his throat, and ended it.

      It was slow going due to the
