Description
<p><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">What happens when a king loses his prowess? The day Henry IV could finally declare he had vanquished his enemies, he threw it all away with an infamous deed. No English king had executed an archbishop before. And divine judgment was quick to follow. Many thought he was struck with leprosy—God's greatest punishment for sinners. From that point on, Henry's health was cursed and he fought doggedly on as his body continued to betray him—reducing this once great warrior to an invalid. Fortunately for England, his heir was ready and eager to take over. But Henry wasn't willing to relinquish what he had worked so hard to preserve. No one was going to take away his royal prerogative—not even Prince Hal. But Henry didn't count on Hal's dauntless nature, which threatened to tear the royal family apart.</span></p>

"A born short story writer." - Kelly Link<br /><div>"<span style="color:#333333;font-family:Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;">As I was reading and much enjoying Sean Manseau's collection of short stories, it came to me: Ambrose Bierce, who disappeared at the end of 1913, may be alive and well and writing as Manseau. The stories have an appealing late 19th-century, early 20th-century flavor, even as they are sprinkled with orange Cheetos dust, Mountain Dew, cerveza, Blackberrys, Macs, and all manner of 21st century accoutrements including television shows. A collection of short stories is not an easy thing, but Manseau manages to captivate, surprise, and delight throughout, demonstrating a major, refreshing talent." - Paul Levinson</span></div>
