Synopsis

Midnight, Westminster Abbey, Friday, October 27, 1307. Lord Cristian Gilleson keeps a lonely vigil at the tomb of King Edward I. Death stalks the Abbey as Edward II, Piers Gaveston and their supporters seek to destroy him before the funeral rites begin. A long night of danger awaits and many will not live to see the dawn. Plot and counter-plot in the dark streets of medieval London as "The King's Jew" reflects on a turbulent life with his king. His enemies are many and supporters few yet he will keep his promise to the greatest of England's monarchs or die in the attempt. Death holds no fears for a man who has walked in the company of kings. This is ‘Historical Faction’ as many of the characters were real people who played such a monumental role in the forging of England. Dates given are, for the most part, accurate. This is the first book of three covering the turbulent life and times of Lord Cristian Gilleson of Longhurst as he charts a dangerous path at the side of his companion Edward the First of England. Reviewers have already compared this work with Mantel and Cornwell in its scope and breadth. And love? Yes there is a love story combined with the brutality of medieval England. The people in this book were just like you and me. The only difference being they lived their lives over seven hundred years ago but in doing so they built the precepts and traditions of modern England.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

I have always been interested - nay fascinated - by medieval life. Not just the Kings and the rulers but the vast majority of people who inhabited that medieval world. People like me - people like you. Books have been written about the Norman's and the Tudors but one segment of time always seemed to be overlooked. The thirteenth Century when Henry III's son, Edward the First, carved his name in the annals of history. This was a time of upheaval and believe me, dear reader, I have studied this period extensively in order to stay true to the times. The result has been a labor of love as the three books that make up "The King's Jew" grew slowly on the page. I feel honored to tell the tale and I hope you enjoy the journey with the characters who live within my books - many of them were real people with loves, worries and pain just like ours.
