Description
<p><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">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.</span><br /><span class="a-text-bold" style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:700;">B.R.A.G.

Story Behind The Book
Writing "Royal Rebel" cheered me during a difficult period of life, caring for my failing father. The fun and adventure of Robin and Simon's romance lightened my spirits and brightened my days. I hope my readers find it equally as enjoyable.
Reviews
<strong>From Amazon Customers</strong>:<br /><br /><strong>Casey S</strong>.<br /><div style="margin-top:5px;">I really enjoyed this book (2nd I've read from Ms Taylor) and once again she had me laughing so hard I cried! It was a nice face paced book that I didn't want to put down until I finished! I loved the Robin Hood twist and was happy to see the characters I knew from Robin Hood in Princess Robin in a different light.<br /> <br /><strong>From Adrienne Prince</strong>:<br />I have read several of Dana Taylor's books and enjoyed them all. She always has a fresh voice and a way of seeing things that is mythic, yet also immediate and insightful... She deftly weaves a tight and consistent plot line right along with the emotional and even spiritual insights of the characters. <br /><br />The erotic scenes are portrayed with humor, romance and real understanding of intimacy, esp from a woman's point of view. Excellent job, overall! <br /><br />The book was generously long, but I was still sad when it was over. <br /></div>
