Description
"Taylor creates a tale redolent of the best of political drama, alliances, annexation, betrayal, and intrigue." -Pacific Book Review
After three long years of war and disruptions, Alfred hopes for a time of peace and tranquility. A time to devote his energy to bettering the lives of his people, to focus on what the future holds for his children, to nurture his alliances, and to see his previous endeavors bear fruit. But even the home front has bumps in the road. The campaign to suppress Teuton aggression has been costly, Lord Meriden's threat to disrupt the kingdom shows no sign of abating, and Nerrick's growing negativity casts a shadow over the mutual defense plans with the Territories. Against this domestic backdrop, Alfred can't forget his obligation to support the fledgling reign of young King Denis, whose kingdom is an essential buffer against Teuton ambitions.
The threat to peace and tranquility, when it comes, arises from an entirely unexpected quarter and puts Alfred in the unfamiliar position of being completely dependent on others to find a resolution. Could his grandfather have been wrong about his special destiny?

Person
Pamela Taylor's "trip of a lifetime" may have been the one where she got to touch a 700-year-old book and examine the account rolls for the construction of a gothic cathedral. A self-professed history-geek, she finds the past offers rich sources of character, ambiance, and story that allow readers to escape into a world totally unlike their daily lives."Weaving a narrative around gaps or exploring contradictions in the historical record is fertile ground for the novelist," she says. "And just as intriguing as imagining the lives of actual historical figures."Pamela shares her home with two Pembroke Welsh Corgis who frequently remind her that a dog walk is the best inspiration for that next chapter.
