Lady Maria Rendell is torn between two men: a loving but absent husband and the illegitimate half-brother of Edward II. When civil war breaks out against the feckless Edward, Maria must pay the price for her scandalous affair with his half-brother. Personal love, duty, and loyalty collide with larger events—ending in the deposition and death of one of England’s most unfortunate kings and Maria’s own private reckoning. $0.99 on Kindle.
