Book
The Oath
First published 2010
England, 1326. Isabella and Mortimer’s invasion overturns loyalties across the kingdom as nobles, officials and soldiers decide whether to abandon Edward II. Amid the wider conflict, an entire family is murdered, followed by further deaths that appear to be driven by vengeance and concealed obligation.
Simon is ordered by Mortimer to investigate while Baldwin faces divided duties of his own. The crime cannot be separated from the collapse of royal authority, because oaths that once defined service and protection are being reinterpreted by every faction seeking survival or advancement.
