A dynasty on the brink of collapse. A French beggar boy raised to knighthood, fame and fortune. Is his final act enough to ward off destruction? How does a French beggar boy end up setting in motion a series of events that will resound through the centuries? That will upset the delicate balance of a kingdom, a family and a dynasty. Even in his wildest dreams, Edmund cannot imagine what life has in store for him. It takes a death, a war set to last a hundred years, and a crumbling line of Kings, before Edmund realises that fate has put the future of England in his hands. But what fate has not foreseen is just what kind of a man Edmund is – or what he intends to unleash. Buy the book and dive right into a medieval adventure thick with deceit, intrigue and heroes. Shield of Blood is based on historical events and is set in and around one of the most explosive periods of the Hundred Year War between England and France. Read this book as the prequel to the rest of the series or side-by-side with the first book in the Mowbray Chronicles.
