Across three paperbacks — Lionheart, Crusader and King — Kane charts the rise of one of England's most legendary warrior-kings, from restless prince to crusading conqueror. Told through Richard and his devoted Irish companion Ferdia, this is meticulously researched historical fiction packed with political intrigue, brutal warfare and unbreakable loyalty. A must-own set for fans of epic historical adventure. About the Books The trilogy opens with Lionheart , set in 1179, as Henry II's fractured Plantagenet dynasty simmers with rebellion. Ferdia, an Irish nobleman taken captive, saves Prince Richard's life and earns his place at his side — the start of a friendship tested by war and betrayal. Crusader picks up in 1189, as Richard is crowned King of England and sets out on a crusade to reclaim Jerusalem, the campaign carrying him through France, Italy and Sicily to the brutal siege of the Holy Land. The concluding volume, King , opens in autumn 1192: with Jerusalem still under Saracen control and an uneasy peace with Saladin, Richard is finally free to return home — only to be shipwrecked, captured and held for ransom. Ferdia remains at his side through captivity, political peril and the burden of kingship. Together the novels form a sweeping portrait of one of history's most celebrated warrior kings, grounded in research and Kane's gift for bringing the medieval world vividly to life.
