Join Duchess Katie & Lady Sadie as the venture in to the world of medieval historical romance!
- New author background
- Susan King was born in 1951 and has been publishing since the 1990s
- Has also published under the nom de plume Sarah Gabriel, Susan Fraser King
- Has worked as a lecturer in medieval history with a background in studio art, medieval english and now is a teacher at a private school.
- Runs a very fun blog called the Word Wenches with some other more 90s romance authors
- Historic highlights
- Takes place between Scotland and England during the 1300s
- Set during what is known as the First Scottish War of Independence. This lasted from 1296 under 1328. Yes – a total of 32 years and 34 days. The wars were caused by the attempts of the English kings to grab territory by claiming sovereignty over Scotland while Scots fought to keep English rule and authority out of Scotland. I know it is shocking that the English never walked into places and declared that they were now in charge… the committed brutal atrocities and treated many of the prisoners of war so badly that they were actually censured by the Pope.
- This is the same war that has Robert the Bruce – a side character in this book and William Wallace of Braveheart fame. Because nothing says Scottish patriotism like an anti semitic Australian? So I don’t recommended you watch that if you haven’t seen it, but I will recommend the Netflix film Outlaw King from 2018. It has a pretty awesome cast of Chris Pine and Florence Pugh.
