Countenance of War

by J.R. Tomlin Book 2 in the The Black Douglas Trilogy series.

Amazon
4.3(2,020)

James Douglas continues the campaign to drive English forces from Scotland and recover the lordship taken from his family. Raids, castle attacks and scorched-earth tactics make him indispensable to Robert the Bruce and increasingly notorious among the English as the Black Douglas.

Edward II responds with another major invasion, forcing the Scots to avoid destruction while denying the enemy supplies. James’s devotion to war places those he loves in danger, and the struggle between personal loyalty and military necessity hardens him into the commander on whom Bruce’s survival depends.
