Tor drew a long breath.

"Saxon ships!"

He had never seen any before, but he had heard the knights talking about them.  Now, here were three going down the river.  They were high in front and back, with rows of oar-blades sweeping the water on each side and the heads of men showing as they rowed.  At each end was a high curve which ended in something that looked strangley, from Tor's distance, like a large animal head.

As he stood staring he suddenly realized that the ships were taking the Saxons and Odo away.  He must follow them!

Tor, pageboy at the court of King Arthur, is put in charge of little Prince Odo when the child's father, King Pellionore, is away on a mission.  Prince Odo is lost, and Tor goes alone to search for him.

He finds the boy a prisoner in a Saxon camp far down the river.  He finds something else, too, something that spells danger to King Arthur and all of Britain:  dragon-prowed Saxon ships and Saxon warriors.

A thrilling sequel to Pageboy for King Arthur.
