Much to his surprise, Jonathan’s rescuers take him under their wing and welcome him into their royal military unit, dubbing him with a new name—Sir Jonathan.

Filled with suspense, inner turmoil, and a determined hope, The King’s Knight accurately and poignantly depicts the many challenges and joys faced by those who follow the true king.
"This series could develop into something very special. Richard Woodman knows how to tell a story, but has a healthy respect for history... Compulsive reading." Saul David "The general reader will be engrossed in the narrative, while students of the era will admire Woodman's accurate eye for historical detail and vocabulary and his incisive reveals of the customs and attitudes of the time." Paul Bannister William Marshal returns from the Holy Land to witness a country - and a father and son - at war. The knight is torn between his ambition and duty. Henry II's powers are diminishing and the King finds himself fighting against both Richard the Lionheart and Philip Augustus of France. Yet Marshal keeps his oath to serve his monarch. But, after the death of Henry, Marshal pledges his allegiance to Richard and vows to protect England, as the Lionheart journeys east to re-take Jerusalem. Marshal learns that the political landscape can be as perilous as any battlefield, especially as England clasps a viper to its bosom, in the form of John, Richard's self-regarding brother. And, as Prince John becomes King John, William Marshal's life and fortunes will change forever. The King's Knight is the second book in Richard Woodman's peerless chronicle of William Marshal, England's Greatest Knight. Praise for Richard Woodman: "Woodman has done justice to a remarkable story and man. William Marshal is portrayed as being brave, intelligent - but flawed and human too." Michael Arnold "Brings medieval Europe to life. The well-crafted action and historical insights enthral and entertain." Richard Foreman, author of Band of Brothers. 'If Neptune's Trident sets the standard for what is to follow - we can at least rest assured that there is a series that truly does justice to our proud merchant maritime past.' Nautilus UK Telegraph 'Richard Woodman tells many a good tale in this first volume and it is fascinating to read. I highly recommend this first volume in the Neptune s Trident for anyone with an interest in the early modern period. If the rest of the series is as good as this one, they should all be on the bookshelves of those studying the history of Britain, from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries.' Open History Captain Richard Martin Woodman LVO is an English novelist and naval historian. He is the author of the series 'A History of the British Merchant Navy' and the Sword of State trilogy, which recreates the true story of George Monck, a giant of the 17th Century.
"Dubbed the Black Wolf for his raven hair, his fierceness in battle and his way with women, Sir Alexander of Talisand attacked life as he did the king's enemies. But acclaim on the battlefield and his lusty escapades did not satisfy. King William Rufus would bind him to Normandy through marriage to one of its noblewomen, but the only woman Alexander wanted was a commoner he had saved from a terrible fate. The shame of being the child of a Norman's rape dogged Merewyn's steps from her youth. Determined never to be a victim of a man's lust like her mother, in Wales she donned the garb of an archer and developed extraordinary skill with a bow. Despite her fair beauty, men now keep their distance. No longer in need of protection from other men, can Merewyn protect herself from Alexander when he holds her heart yet can never be hers?"--Provided by publisher.
