Snakes & Wolves
1447 - The great tower of Ravenshill was a safe beacon for Lady Elisabeth Kirkham. It is her home, and she would do anything to preserve it. But its ancient walls hide dark secrets.
Soon, she will discover far more dangerous things lurking just outside the walls. Things that devour eleven-year-olds like Elisabeth.
The young earl, Adrian de Ros, dreams that his name will be a legend one day. If only the knight he fosters with would take him to France and join in King Henry’s fight for the French crown. But he will soon learn not all battles are fought in war.
As one child is pulled farther from her home, the other struggles to bring her back. But can the crumbling walls of Ravenshill survive what comes next? Can the children navigate the treacherous waters ahead as England is bloodied by war, and its people must choose — York or Lancaster.

In the Grass
1453 - The men Elisabeth Kirkham sent to fight in the Hundred Years' War have returned to Ravenshill. As another war closes in, Henry Beaufort, Earl of Dorset, returns to Ravenshill and sets off a firestorm of desire and betrayal that rocks the foundation of Elisabeth’s world. Adrian de Ros, Earl of Helmsley, knows there is only one woman he loves, and his wife is not her. He will go to great lengths to secure a future for Elisabeth, even if it means a marriage to another man. But when he finds she has not only pledged Ravenshill’s fighting men to King Henry VI but given herself to the commander of the Queen’s army, he finds himself unable to hold to the tether that kept him and Elisabeth together. As battles rage between the forces of King Henry and Richard, Duke of York, Elisabeth finds not only security in the arms of Henry Beaufort but all of Ravenshill benefits from his wealth and power. Imbittered by his marriage and disillusioned by war, Adrian finds it hard to come to terms with being enemies with the people of Ravenshill. What will happen to Ravenshill if King Henry loses his crown? As the tides turn, will Elisabeth seek out Adrian, or will the tie be severed forever? |
