Roland Inness has been knighted for valor at the siege of Acre and sent home to England with a vital message for Queen Eleanor. But his homecoming proves to be as violent and dangerous as the Crusade he left behind him. He finds his home burned and his master’s family gone—made fugitives by his sworn enemy William de Ferrers.
Roland and Declan O’Duinne set out to find Lady Catherine and Millicent de Laval in the wild borderlands of Wales and are drawn into the center of a growing civil war. Roland, Declan and Millicent must fight for their lives and for the honor of their Earl, as Philip of France and Prince John conspire to end King Richard’s rule and Queen Eleanor struggles to hold the King’s broken realm together.The Saga of Roland Inness series begins with this tale of a fourteen-year-old boy who has extraordinary skill with a longbow. It is a story of courage, loyalty, honor and treachery. Most of all, it is a story of high adventure set in a time so filled with drama it has spawned legends that fascinate people to this day. It is the time of Richard the Lionheart, Robin Hood, Eleanor of Aquitaine and William Marshall, legendary figures all--some real and some fictional.
The first four books in the saga—Longbow, Warbow, The Broken Realm and The Ransomed Crown tell the coming-of-age story of the young archer. A Prince of Wales, the fifth in the series, follows Roland Inness as he leads the legendary Invalid Company into Wales to help Llywelyn the Great win a throne. The sixth book in the series, set in Ireland, will be released in late 2018.
