A King Under Siege: Book One of The Plantagenet Legacy
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
Hi! My name is Shay, and I'm the author of Raw: An Erotic Street Tale. I'm 21, from Harlem (Holla!), and a student at an HBCU. Actually, Shay is a psuedonym. Both my parents, my aunt, and a grandfather are published authors; and if they found out I wrote a street/erotica book they would not only be horrified, they would have me institutionalized, kept in a strait jacket, and drugged 24 hours a day.
While the drug part doesn't bother me (grin!), I'd really rather keep my physical and professional freedom. Hence, they psuedoynm!
Hope you enjoy Raw: An Erotic Street Tale, and look for the sequel, Too Raw which will be out soon!
