Book
A King Ensnared
Scotland, 1406. Twelve-year-old Prince James is sent towards France as Robert III dies and the Duke of Albany strengthens his hold over the kingdom. English sailors capture the prince at sea, leaving Scotland with a king who will spend eighteen years detained at the courts and castles of England.
Education, military service and political observation turn the captive boy into a determined ruler. His love for Joan Beaufort offers both companionship and a possible dynastic bridge, but freedom requires a ransom and agreements with men who benefit from his absence, forcing James to prepare for a return to a country he knows chiefly through reports of disorder.
