At the King's Command
A young knight reluctant to obey. A murderer sworn to secrecy. A dangerous truth drenched in blood.
At age eleven, Argyle Mowbray dreams of chivalry and adventure. When a most unlikely adversary kills Argyle’s master, he finally understands that real life is a far cry from his childhood fantasies.
Reluctantly, Argyle accepts a royal command that sends him on a dangerous quest for the truth. He must succeed in order to untangle his family from a bloody power struggle. But the more he learns, the more he doubts what he knows.
One thing is undeniable: If he reveals all a dynasty will collapse.
Court of Deadly Whispers
A sordid affair turned deadly. A spurned child Queen caught in a deceitful court. An unhinged King unleashing his wrath.
Argyle Mowbray, knight and nobleman, has fallen into disgrace, suspected of treason and fraternising with the enemy.
When the English King takes a child bride, Argyle glimpses the opportunity to return to favour and secure a peaceful existence at the outskirts of courtly life. But a ghost returns from the grave, and Argyle realises that what he desires most can never be his.
As heads roll and blood spills, a traitor slips between the royal sheets, and
Argyle is forced to acknowledge that, sometimes, chivalry can lead to only one destination: Death.
A Web of Lies
A nightmare King. An enemy returned. A destructive secret.
Upheaval looms on the horizon when an exiled Lord returns to claim what is his by rights. Caught between an old pledge made to a madman and an ultimatum that threatens to end his family, Argyle Mowbray is forced to choose where to place his future allegiance.
It takes a traitor in his household and a death in the family for Argyle to do what he did once before. Defy a King.
When he is dragged to Paris in shackles, he comes face to face with a concealed past that cannot be denied. As enemies and unreliable allies dig their claws ever deeper into him, his many questions converge to reveal a dark secret that threatens to upend everything he ever knew.
Caught in a web of lies, Argyle grasps the last strand left for him: Exchanging a life for a life – even if it leads to his own demise.
Legacy of Kings
The weather is abysmal. The granaries are empty. And Argyle Mowbray is caught in a net of rebellion and deceit.
As a storm gathers over England and King Henry IV's grasp on power grows weaker by the day, Argyle Mowbray faces his greatest challenge yet.
To stave off the reveal of his dark secret, he is forced to strike a deal with the English King that sends him far from the English shores never to return. In the brash and brazen court of the Danish King Eric and his powerful adoptive mother Margarethe I, Argyle finds some solace, but his respite is short-lived.
Soon, his past comes knocking and it sets him on a final quest for redemption. Will he succeed and save his family or plunge his entire legacy into chaos?
The final tale about Argyle Mowbray is based on historical events and is the fourth volume of the Mowbray Chronicles.
