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

E.R. Baine has a degree in Computing from Andrews University, with a minor in English and a Career Diploma in Freelance Writing from Penn Foster. She has been an voracious reader and writer all her life. E.R. Baine writes paranormal romance series for adults. Dear Reader, I fall more and more in love with my characters the more I write about them. Hello, my name is E.R. Baine and I own the startup Chunksie Entertainment. I started it back in 2005 when I was 25 years old and first started University. Now I have my degree in Computing, with a minor in English, I decided to pick up where I left off with my writing. Back in 2005 I had about 60 poems on the site, with one of them being published. This time I have decided to venture into the realm of serialized romantic drama. I love vampires, werewolves, demons, devils and angels. My influences are wide ranging, from Shakespare, to J.R. Ward's The Black Dagger Brotherhood to Jeff Lindsay's Dexter novels. My books incorporate a heavy dose of romance. Many of my characters would go on to get their happy ending, though with a myriad of trials and tribulations along the way. I like writing about diverse characters and not sticking to the boring boy-meets-girl meme. I love 'love'. And I like the fact that I feel my readers grow more closer to me with every word I write that they read. I look forward to my fans getting to know me better with every book I write. It is a pleasure touching all of your hearts with my writing voice. Thank you for reading my novels. I hope you have as much joy reading them as I have writing them.
