Weak kings need strong knights, and for Richard II few are more valiant than Harry Percy: seasoned fighter, proven leader and heir to the North.

But despite the adulation of his peers and the love of his betrothed, Harry ‘Hotspur’ is not content; his heart yearns for Elizabeth Plantagenet, the sister of his childhood friend and the king’s rival, Henry Bolingbroke.

As his infatuation threatens to destroy his marriage, he finds himself a pawn in an increasingly bloody struggle for power – and ultimately, the throne.

Set against the evocative backdrop of Chaucer’s England and an English coup, A Border Knight is stirring historical tale of love, loyalty and obsession.

For fans of Sharon Penman and Elizabeth Chadwick.
