Paperback. Young Noble Talbot had no idea that his life was about to change beyond his wildest dreams that morning as he went about his usual chores. Noble is a simple peasant boy, the orphaned grandson of Henry Talbot who was once the king's favorite falconer. Since his grandfather's death the year before, Noble has been left to care for his grandmother and himself. Henry left him a strong legacy of faith and love for the Lord, along with keen skills in hunting and his prized peregrine falcon, Fly. The day begins as any other-doing chores for Granny and then taking Fly out to hunt for their supper. Before it is over, however, a chance encounter in the hunting fields leads to Noble abruptly leaving home and his granny for the castle in Caernarfon.Life at the castle is full of exciting new challenges, but also times of loneliness and fear. Noble is quick to make friends, and even more quickly, to his dismay-enemies. Among his new friends, are King Stephen, who has taken a personal interest in his new young falconer, and the little prince, William. William looks up to Noble in the same way Noble admires the king's knights and daydreams of being like them. Their friendship is a blessing, but who would have suspected it would lead to such bitter jealousy and a threat from Noble's enemies, as well? When that threat turns to treachery and danger for the king's family, Noble does not hesitate to take action-even if it means acting alone.The first in the Noble Heart series, Flight of the Falcon introduces us to young Noble, a lad of courage and character, faith and fidelity. His life has been difficult at times, and adversity and peril seem to follow him always, but armed with the knowledge that God is with him, Noble perseveres and presses on for the victory. Noble's journey to maturity continues throughout the series of books as he seeks to follow and trust God through every test and trial that comes his way. The stories are entertaining and exciting, full of adventure and mystery-but they are encouraging, as well, meant to inspire and influence young people in their own life journeys.Parents can expect good, wholesome literature in the Noble Heart series-upholding godly values without excessive violence, bad language, the occult, immoral conduct or disobedience to authority. Whether read alone or as a family, these books will uplift and nurture all.Cover art beautifully done by Sarah Lowe.Other books in the Noble Heart series: Quest for the KingdomShadow of the Dark KnightWinter of the White WolfSea of HonorValley of ValorA Hero's Heart This item is printed on demand.

Young Noble Talbot had no idea that his life was about to change beyond his wildest dreams that morning as he went about his usual chores. Noble is a simple peasant boy, the orphaned grandson of Henry Talbot who was once the king’s favorite falconer. Since his grandfather’s death the year before, Noble has been left to care for his grandmother and himself. Henry left him a strong legacy of faith and love for the Lord, along with keen skills in hunting and his prized peregrine falcon, Fly. The day begins as any other—doing chores for Granny and then taking Fly out to hunt for their supper. Before it is over, however, a chance encounter in the hunting fields leads to Noble abruptly leaving home and his granny for the castle in Caernarfon.
