Learn moreEngland, 1176. King Henry II has imprisoned his rebellious Queen for attempting to overthrow him. But with her conspirators still at large and a failed assassination attempt on his beautiful mistress, Rosamund Clifford, the King must take action to preserve his reign.
Desperate, Henry turns to the only man he trusts: a man whose skills have saved him once before. Sir Benedict Palmer answers the call, mistakenly believing that his family will remain safe while he attends to his King.
As Palmer races to secure the throne for the King, neither man senses the hand of a brilliant schemer, a mystery figure loyal to Henry’s traitorous Queen who will stop at nothing to see the King defeated.

Reviews
“Both Fifth Knight novels are terrific. Theodosia and Benedict are not merely attractive characters; they are intensely real people. The backdrop – both political and social – in which the two are functioning is true to time and place. This is a romp and a fun read.” —Historical Novels Review
