Arthur, Book 2: At the Crossing Places, Kevin Crossley-Holland, Michelle Viviane Tran van Khai

Arthur's dream finally comes true! In this year 1200, he is appointed squire to Lord Stephen of Holt, his uncle. But it is not yet time for him to go on crusades... First, he must find a warhorse, get used to wearing armor, and above all, practice combat sports. As he continues to consult his prophetic stone, he finds that the images he receives increasingly accurately reflect his life! But suddenly, an unexpected encounter turns his life upside down... A bestseller translated into over eighteen languages and an immense success upon its publication in England, the Arthur trilogy is at once a formidable adventure novel set in medieval Europe and an astonishing rediscovery of the legend of King Arthur. Crossroads is the second volume of the Arthur trilogy, following The Prophetic Stone.
