A Kingdom's Cost

They took his blood and his heart. Now, he will become their darkest nightmare.

In the shadow of William Wallace's brutal end, young James Douglas swears an oath. He will not bend. Fueled by a burning desire to fight for his homeland's freedom, he joins forces with Robert the Bruce and rides into a war where honor is a blade and mercy is a luxury few can afford. Yet in the quiet between battles, a courageous noblewoman offers him a glimpse of the life he might have had, a fragile refuge that stokes both tenderness and resolve.

When his beloved is taken by the very enemy he has vowed to destroy, James faces a heart-wrenching decision that threatens to consume him. Each victory costs him pieces of his soul; each loss carves deeper the hunger for retribution. He will risk everything to free his country and the woman who showed him what is worth fighting for. Sweeping from rain-lashed glens to blood-soaked battlefields, A Kingdom's Cost plunges you into an adventure of iron conviction, intimate sacrifice, and relentless suspense, where one man's fury may forge a nation—or consume him utterly.

Perfect for readers of Bernard Cornwell, Conn Iggulden, and Robyn Young.
