About

Luke Romyn was born in Sydney, Australia, and spent his youth travelling extensively throughout the world with his family. After the death of his father, Luke spent some time living in Fiji before he returned to Australia and completed his education. Circumstances soon drew him into the seedy world of nightclub security. Luke used his caustic wit and quick thinking to defuse situations which could otherwise become volatile and swiftly became known as one of the most professional doormen in the business.

Ten years and several different security and bodyguard jobs later, Luke broadened his horizons and spent a year travelling and working around the world with his wife Sarah. During this time Luke began researching and writing his new novel,  THE DARK PATH

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>
