7 posts | 1 read | 4 to read
Scotland, 1306. Young Thomas Randolph is thrilled to swear fealty to the rightful King of Scots, his uncle, Robert the Bruce. But when the Scots are defeated in battle, he is taken prisoner, one among many to be executed under the Dragon Banner. Saved from execution by a friend, he must swear fealty to King Edward or betray the man who saved him. With no choice, Thomas serves the English, but his heart is with Scotland. Now whatever he does, Thomas will be a noble traitor.

Ebook on sale today. Based on a true story and well-researched about one man‘s shifting loyalty to Robert the Bruce and the king of England. I was blown away by this book and I highly recommend it.

GingerAntics Just downloaded this on Apple Books. I don‘t know as much about this period, so maybe it will go okay. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 2y

This book was the surprise 5-star read! Based on a true person, and backed by research, this is the story of Robert the Bruce‘s nephew Thomas Randolph who changed allegiances between the Bruce and the Kings Edward. Written so well to help understand how someone could sympathetically find themselves in that position. Excellent story, well written. I‘m encouraged to look for book two if there is one. #letterN #litsyatoz

Crazeedi This sounds right up my alley. Adding. Love this period of history 2y
Texreader @Crazeedi I got the free ebook a little while back. It‘ll probably show up free again so keep an eye out. I just checked and it‘s currently $4.99. It‘s the first of four books. The fourth book to be released January 2022. (edited) 2y
ValerieAndBooks This intrigued me ! Another one of hers is free right now, so I downloaded that. 2y

Finished two books this weekend, so thought I‘d catch up on all my challenges. I‘ve also planned out the rest of the year #foodandlit and #authoramonth challenges, which also help with some other challenges. Books in bold are to read, books in italics are current reads. Doing my best to finish #litsyatoz. Seven to go. I don‘t think I‘ll finish #readingasia2021 but I will have made a big dent!

I love looking up places referenced in the books I read. This is St. Mungo‘s Cathedral or the Glasgow Cathedral.

“Well ahead of them, Saint Mungo‘s Cathedral was a towering black shape that cut off the stars.”

The cathedral was built in 1197, and the book is set in the early 1200s. Love that it‘s still standing.

TiredLibrarian @Texreader I do the same thing! 🌍 3y

My ebook about #Nepal (The Snow Leopard for #readingasia2021) is slow, so I‘m going to start this ebook to read intermittently with it. I needed the #LetterN for #litsyatoz2021, so was glad to pick up this freebie on Amazon yesterday.
