Official synopsis Publisher
The start of an epic new historical adventure series from Richard Cullen introducing The Black Lion
As war approaches, the lion will roar…
1213AD.
King Richard the Lionheart is dead, and his brother, John Lackland, sits uneasily upon the throne of England.
Across the sea, Prince Louis, heir to the powerful King Philip Augustus of France, looks to King John’s crown with a covetous eye.
But King John must be wary of rebellion, as well as invasion, for even his own barons would see their king unseated, and the French pretender put in his place.
Thrust amid this tumult is young Estienne Wace, orphan squire to Earl William Marshal – the greatest knight to ever serve the kings of England, and one of the few men who still holds faith in King John’s rule.
Raised by Marshal as his ward, Estienne must prove himself worthy of his adopted father’s name, but acceptance may be the least of his troubles. War is looming, as usurpers emerge from every quarter, determined to steal England’s crown from its most wretched king.
Perfect for the fans of Bernard Cornwell, Ben Kane and Conn Iggulden.
