Families are torn apart in this dramatic Medieval thriller! Perfect for fans of Conn Iggulden, Robyn Young, Alison Weir and Anthony Riches.

England is at war – with itself!

England, 1120

When Henry I dies with no legitimate male heir, the nation is thrown into chaos.

The two rivals for the crown are Henry’s daughter Matilda and his nephew Stephen of Blois, both of whom are determined to emerge victorious.

A bitter struggle ensues which threatens to reduce England to a barren wasteland and many ordinary people find themselves torn apart from each other in the confusion of deciding which side to fight for.

One of those caught up in the fray is young soldier Richard Walsingham who is fighting alongside Stephen. But his sister Elinor is employed as a companion to Matilda.

As the family members come to terms with being on opposite sides of a treacherous dynastic conflict a new contender for the throne enters the picture…

Which of the rivals will emerge triumphant? Can the nation be pieced back together again?

Or will more than lives be lost in this uncivil war…?

About the Author

David Field was born in post-war Nottingham and educated at Nottingham High School. After obtaining a law degree he became a career-long criminal law practitioner and academic, emigrating in 1989 to Australia, where he still lives. Combining his two great loves of history and the English language he began writing historical novels as an escape from the realities of life in the criminal law, but did not begin to publish them until close to full-time retirement, when digital publishing offered a viable alternative to literary agencies, print publishers, and rejection slips. Now blessed with all the time in the world, his former hobby has become a full-time occupation as he enjoys life in rural New South Wales, with his wife, sons, and grandchildren to keep him firmly grounded in the reality of the contemporary world.

Nigel Patterson, British audiobook narrator and AudioFile Earphones Award winner, has many credits as a stage, screen, and voiceover actor that influence his powerful characterization across a broad range of genres. A graduate of the University of Oxford, he is fluent in French and Spanish.

    An excellent read although at times it was difficult to determine “ Who’s on first” with all the squabbling! It filled in a lot of blanks for me and I look forward to reading Book 4

    I have to believe it was the subject matter that I didn't care for as to why I was disappointed in this book. I have raved over all the other books by this author but this one I really struggled with. I have never been a fan of the Matilda and Stephen story but was hoping this terrific author would make a difference. If you are a fan of these people then read this book. For me, I'm done with them.

    Going on to " The Lion of Anjou" in spite of being somewhat dubious of the conversations crafted by the writer and attributed to the protagonists. Yet the savagery and selfishness of the ruling class, with the connivance of the Church are true to history. How little has seemingly changed in the last millenium!

    2.0 out of 5 stars A Whirlwind Trip
    Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2022
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    When I read a book of historical fiction, I don’t expect the reader is subjected to page after page of history, with the occasional smattering of a sentence or two of verbal utterances.

    What I don’t want is a book so devoid of action and intense meaning to the characters as to keep me from caring about what happens to them. In this case, that means the author spent a short novel (Book 2) whipping through the years so fast that almost nothing of real consequence happens to protagonists to make the reader feel something for them and their sniffles and mental ‘burdens’ they inflicted on themselves.

    Then there are the arrogant, emotional Millenials of their age, who make me want to puke with their selfishness and undeserved expectations of entitlement because of their lineage or station, which are completely and totally undeserved. They want to start at the top, and not work to get there. I don’t give a rip about reading any more about them.

    Book 3 doesn’t disappoint, the characters and plot matching their predecessors in intrigue and earthy humour. As previously admitted, I look forward to reading further in the series.
