Synopsis

After Henry of Lancaster’s rebellion has been crushed, a restless peace settles over England. But the young Edward III is no longer content with being his regents’ puppet, and soon enough Adam is torn between his loyalty to the young king—and that to his former lord, Roger Mortimer, now co-regent and effective ruler of England. Edward III is growing up fast. No longer a boy to be manipulated, he resents the power of Mortimer and his mother, Queen Isabella. His regents show little inclination of handing over their power to him, the rightful king, and Edward suspects they never will unless he forces their hand.Adam de Guirande is first and foremost Edward’s man, and he too is of the opinion that the young king is capable of ruling on his own. But for Adam siding with his king causes heartache, as he still loves Roger Mortimer, the man who shaped him into what he is. Inevitably, Edward and his regents march toward a final confrontation. And there is nothing Adam can do but pray and hope that somehow things will work out. Unfortunately, prayers don’t always help.

This truly exciting book is the 4th and final volume of "The King's Greatest Enemy" series by the wonderful author Anna Belfrage.

Goodreads review by Nicky

Beautifully done One of my touchstones for excellent historical fiction is whether you hope against hope that this time it didn't happen as the text books say. Anna Belfrage has the knack of wrapping the story round you and forcing you to get inside the head of her characters. It was a treat to make......more

Goodreads review by Paula

This is the 4th installment of this series, and I cannot say, that having read the previous books, I am not disappointed. The author is so skilled at writing, that I have been immersed in Kit and Adam's story since day one. The manner in which their story unfolds within the bigger tale of Edward II,......more
