Battle Scars Series Box Set: Books I - III Kindle Edition

by Charlene Newcomb (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
3.5 out of 5 stars 6 ratings
War. Politics & intrigue...
Treason. Revenge. Passion... Forbidden love.
The Lionheart's knights at war

“A vivid picture of the Third Crusade.” Andrew Latham, author of The Holy Lance.

“A breathtaking gallop through the Lionheart’s England.” Sharon Bennett Connolly, author of Heroines of the Medieval World.

From the shores of England to the Holy Land. Through treacherous mountains in Bavaria. Across England, to the struggle to hold the Angevin Empire. The tumultuous reign of King Richard I, the Lionheart, sets the backdrop of the Battle Scars series. This epic saga reveals the fighting spirit and impact of war on the knights who serve the Lionheart, the bonds of comradeship - and love - that develop between them, and their personal joys, sorrows and struggles.

Book I - Men of the Cross
Sir Henry de Grey embarks on the holy crusade brimming with the spirit of youth, passion for the cause, and unquestioned loyalty to his king. His naivety fades beneath the harsh realities of war and confusion over his feelings for comrade Sir Stephan l’Aigle.
B.R.A.G. Medallion honoree

Book II - For King and Country
In England, civil war threatens while King Richard languishes in captivity, a prisoner of the Holy Roman Emperor. Sir Henry and his friends uncover a plot by the king’s brother John to usurp the throne. Loyalties will be tested and families torn apart.

B.R.A.G. Medallion honoree; Historical Novel Society’s Editor’s Choice; Finalist - Chaucer Awards for pre-1750 Historical Fiction

Book III - Swords of the King
Lionheart's knights fight for their lives against King Richard’s French enemies and become embroiled in politics, treason, and murder. The king has forgiven his brother, and John is now an ally. But can John be trusted?

Fans of Sharon Kay Penman, Elizabeth Chadwick, and Angus Donald will enjoy this sweeping historical, fast-paced action/adventure of life in the 12th century. Experience man’s courage and resilience in bloody battles from England to the Holy Land and back, spies and treachery, and love and loss, in the Battle Scars series, which also introduces a new take on the origins of Robin Hood.

“Trauma and passion in a battle of bodies and souls… [Newcomb] captures brilliantly the twisted ideology of those religious wars whilst also narrating the personal traumas and passions of her main characters.” --Dr. Christopher Monk, medieval manuscript specialist, Rochester Cathedral, and author of Sodom in the Anglo-Saxon Imagination.

“If Mary Renault had chosen to write about the Crusades instead of ancient Greece and Persia, she could not have done any better--and that is high praise, indeed.” --Amazon reviewer

    3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad but didn't grab me like other historical fantasies I've read
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 10, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    I like the historical setting as I didn't know much about that era but the affair between the two main characters grated after a while. Yes, they're in love - I got it but it didn't have to be repeated ad nauseam throughout the 3 books. By the 3rd book I was hoping one or both of them would get killed off which is not normal with the main characters in a book.

    Having said all that the new twist on the origins of Robin Hood is good and would definitely read a book that follows up on his exploits under the rule of King John.
