Stewart Monti invites readers into a richly imagined world of 12th century England with his latest release, Hillary and Sir Edward, a compelling historical tale that challenges tradition and celebrates courage, identity, and possibility.
Set during the reign of King Henry II, the story follows Hillary, a 13-year-old girl whose life defies expectations. Raised by her father, Jacob, a skilled blacksmith trained in swordsmanship, Hillary develops remarkable abilities uncommon for girls of her time. She excels in swordplay, chess, and horsemanship, all while maintaining her grace and individuality. Her journey takes a pivotal turn when Sir Edward, a trusted family friend, arrives in search of a page, setting the stage for a question that challenges the norms of medieval society. Can a young girl rise to a role traditionally reserved for boys?
Hillary and Sir Edward is more than a historical narrative. It is a story of determination and belief in one’s own potential. With vivid storytelling and engaging characters, Monti weaves a tale that encourages readers to look beyond limitations imposed by society and embrace their unique strengths. The book builds upon the foundation of his earlier work, Mary and Sir Edward, continuing the legacy of characters whose lives are shaped by resilience and unexpected turns.
The inspiration behind the book stems from Monti’s earlier narrative and its evolution into a screenplay that explored the future of its characters. This creative process led to the development of Hillary’s story, offering readers a deeper and more complete continuation of the original narrative.
At its heart, the book delivers a powerful and timeless message. There is never anything you cannot do. This theme resonates strongly throughout Hillary’s journey as she challenges expectations and redefines what is possible in her world.
Stewart Monti’s work appeals to readers who enjoy historical fiction with strong character development and meaningful themes. His storytelling captures both the spirit of the medieval era and the universal desire to overcome obstacles and pursue one’s purpose.
Hillary and Sir Edward is now available through major book retailers and online platforms. Readers who appreciate stories of courage, growth, and breaking boundaries will find this book both inspiring and unforgettable.
