The Throne

In this sequel to "To Murder a King," the story follows a sword for hire navigating the treacherous political landscape between rival claimants to the throne of England. As King Richard's temper flares into violence following the Queen of England's death, only a few figures, including William Strongstaff and John of Gaunt, can attempt to control his excesses. The novel takes readers from the Baltic Crusade to England, Scotland, and Ireland, leading to the decisive moment when the crown's owner is ultimately determined.
