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

While researching my own genealogy with my children, I came across some interesting facts. I knew my great-grandfather came from Scotland. I came across a site that told about the MacGregor's and the proscription against them. It also showed some of the names taken by them, one of them being Wilcox. It was then I decided to write my story with Iain MacGregor as my hero.

Reviews

<font face="Arial" size="3">&quot;Terisa Wilcox has penned an intriguing story, filled with interesting historical detail and dialogue so realistic as to transport the reader back in time to Scotland of the 17th century. Kristianna and Iain are charming characters and Wilcox relays their attraction to one another in a fun, entertaining way. The plot moves quickly and will hold the reader’s attention throughout as Wilcox cleverly weaves conflicts into the story that threaten the two lovers’ future.&quot;<br /><br /></font>&quot;Forbidden love, deceit, trickery and distrust. If you like the sound of any of these words then you are sure to enjoy Timeless Mist. There is nothing like a book where a man has to overcome his ego and pride to conquer the woman that he has his eyes set on. What struck me most was the Scottish dialect, it is consistent and impressive. Kristianna is a sweetheart and Iain is impossible…just the way I like my romance novel men.&quot;
