Beskrivelse af Tyrant
The King's Knight Book 3"Ironside writes with insight and wit... The King's Knight skilfully blends action with real historical events and personages... Medieval England is a time of both blood and humanity." Richard Foreman, author of Band of Brothers.1395.It has been six years since Gregory Maudesley, sword-for-hire turned baron, unmasked a plot to assassinate the king. Despite saving Richard's life, his friendship with the king has never entirely recovered from the shards of Richard's distrust and autocracy. Since the Merciless Parliament, in 1388, England has enjoyed a period of peace. But an unfavourable end to the war with France and an alliance with Charles VI threatens to set the Duke of Gloucester and many of the lords against the king once more. But Richard is no longer a boy, nor a petulant young man. With his cousin, Henry Bolingbroke, safely exiled, the king begins a campaign of revenge and tyranny. The realm stands on the brink of civil war. Torn between the duty he owes an increasingly erratic king and a deep sense of what is right, Gregory must risk everything he holds dear and face his most difficult test of loyalty yet. Henry will return and Gregory will be forced to make a fatal choice.The knight will be compelled to draw his sword once more. Praise for J. A. Ironside: "Entertaining, well-researched and compelling." Michael Jecks"Ælfgifa...steals every scene and is a character who would fit in any George R. R. Martin novel." Tony Riches"Intense drama, creative working of the sparse historical record, and a detailed look into what made William and Harold tick... A rousing, page turning tale awaits you..." Paul BennettJ. A. Ironside grew up in rural Dorset in a house full of books. She was exposed to history at an early age and happily never recovered - the presence of so many Roman ruins in the area inspired a lifelong interest in historical warfare. She has taught and studied martial arts and weaponry for 25 years. Her published works include The King's Knight series and the Oath and Crown series co-written with Matthew Willis.
