Description

<p>Richard II found himself under siege not once, but twice in his minority. Crowned king at age ten, he was only fourteen when the Peasants' Revolt terrorized London. But he proved himself every bit the Plantagenet successor, facing Wat Tyler and the rebels when all seemed lost. Alas, his triumph was short-lived, and for the next ten years he struggled to assert himself against his uncles and increasingly hostile nobles. Just like in the days of his great-grandfather Edward II, vengeful magnates strove to separate him from his friends and advisors, and even threatened to depose him if he refused to do their bidding. The Lords Appellant, as they came to be known, purged the royal household with the help of the Merciless Parliament. They murdered his closest allies, leaving the King alone and defenseless. He would never forget his humiliation at the hands of his subjects. Richard's inability to protect his adherents would haunt him for the rest of his life, and he vowed that next time, retribution would be his.</p>

Story Behind The Book

Reviews

<strong><font size="2">2011 Grace Awards Finalist in Mystery/Suspense Category!</font></strong><br /><span></span><br /><strong>'Top Pick' from Night Owl Reviews</strong> - &quot;This book was awesome. The story line was phenomonal. Anne Patrick has definitely out done herself with this book. She takes the Christian reading genre to a whole new height. Keep up the good work, and I can't wait to read the next one in this new series.&quot;<br /><br /><a href="http://www.theromancestudio.com/reviews/reviews/killshotpatrick.htm"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Five Hearts from The Romance Studio</span></strong></a> - &quot;Although I'd read book two of this series first, I couldn't wait to read this one and I've got to say it didn't disappoint. The plot was captivating, and ensnared my attention from the beginning with Kory having to escape a tricky situation without getting herself killed. Good thing she was so resourceful, using her training in the Army to help her in her endeavour to get away...<span style="line-height:normal;font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;">Overall, Ms. Patrick has written a really impressive tale in this one that I just had to read after reading the second one in this series. And now I'm eagerly awaiting the third installment of this incredible series, which is going to feature Kory's best friend Drew from her time in the Army.&quot; ~ Reviewed by Bec</span><br />
