Overview

In the dawn of a kingdom, loyalties and lies collide.

The truth will change England and Scotland forever.

In the triumphant aftermath of Bannockburn, Robert the Bruce faces unfamiliar battles. His wife Elizabeth, held captive in England for eight long years, has finally returned home to Scotland. With his marriage in ruin and hopes for an heir quickly fading, Robert vows to fulfill an oath from long ago-one which will not only bind his daughter to a man she does not love, but challenge the honor of his most trusted knight, James Douglas.

While Ireland falls to the Scots, King Edward II of England must contend with quarrelsome barons. Hugh Despenser is the one man who can give him both the loyalty and love he so desperately craves. War with France looms and Edward's only chance at peace rests with his queen, Isabella-a woman who has every reason to seek her own revenge.

Tormented by his past, James returns to a solitary, ruthless life of raiding into the north of England. When a bewitching spy promises him the ultimate victory, James must weigh whether to unveil the truth and risk losing her love-or guard his secrets and forever preserve Robert's faith in him.

    A satisfying conclusion

    I became very involved with the protagonists of this trilogy in the course of reading the first and second books: The Crown in the Heather and Worth Dying For. Each character, from Robert the Bruce to his arch enemy, Edward the Second, began as strangers to me but with each chapter I read, with each book I opened, they were further polished, fleshed out and deepened until I could almost see them before me, see their expressions as well as I could dip into their hearts and minds. I fell a little in love with, or perhaps it was a kind of hero worship state, with James Douglas. In The Honor Due a King, James's story continues, as does Robert's, and the stories of the people that surround them. The Honor Due a King steps away from battles and delves far more deeply into the personal lives of our champions. This is a book of heart, mind, romance, tragedy and love. It's a triumphant, yet sad conclusion; by that I mean that when you become so connected to a story and its characters, you really don't want it to end.
