Product Description
The stallion, the swan, and the sorceress
Titch had trained all his life in the ways of honor and of arms. Now he saddled his late father's warhorse, belted on his heirloom sword, and set off to win his knighthood. Unfortunately, his first challenge pitted him against a formidable foe on a glossy black charger, and winning wasn't in the cards for Titch -- though he'd see that horse again.
Wren was an apprentice magician, a shape-changer and healer. She chanced upon the wounded warrior, bushed and left to die. She took Titch in, nursed him back to health, then sent him on his way -- though she'd see that youth again.
For a mad queen and an impossible quest would reunite Wren and Titch and the magical stallion Valadan. Together they would search out an enchanted swan, which Wren must somehow transform into a prince. Should she fail, she would pay with her life.
The penalties would be higher yet should she succeed!

I read this book in one day.... I couldn't put it down.,
By A Customer
This review is from: True Knight (Mass Market Paperback)
This book has it all... a great love story, the good guy, the bad guy, the beautiful girl, something for everyone. You can't help but love the main character. Everyone has a bad day once in a while but after reading how Tich copes with the hand life deals him... you decided you can overcome anything.

An excellent entry in the Warhorse of Esdragon series,

This review is from: True Knight (Mass Market Paperback)
While not quite as enjoyable as The Prince of Ill-Luck, The True Knight is a noticeable improvement over the previous installment in the series, The Wind-Witch. The True Knight possesses Dexter's usual sly humor and strong sense of characterization; Wren and Titch are well developed characters who remain themselves throughout the entire book-- no sudden and implausible character changes here! Dexter's strong point is questing adventures, and The True Knight is a fine example of what the standard in fantasy ought to be. Unstereotypical and fresh, The True Knight is a must-read (after The Prince of Ill-Luck) for a fantasy lover.

A sweet and entertaining story with compelling characters,
By A Customer
This review is from: True Knight (Mass Market Paperback)
This engaging story of medieval misunderstanding between Titch, an orphaned would-be knight, and Wren, an apprentice wizard who has lost her past, is full of great characters and weird and wonderful plot twists. Titch's misadventures while trying desperately to hold on to honor and win a knighthood combine with Wren's quest for her past and a subplot of deceit and violence to create a dramatic storyline. Nearly every character is drawn well, and the romance angle is very nicely done. One only wishes that Dexter did not sprinkle so many hits about who Wren really is. Even so, "The True Knight" is head and shoulders (and hopefully a magical horse) above most other standard fantasy titles. It's too bad that it is the last of a trilogy; I was so drawn in that I wanted to hear more about the world and characters of "The True Knight." --The writer is an ex-D&D gamemaster currently involved in creating his own role playing game.
