The King's Jew.: Book One. "Changeling." - (Sept 1238 - Aug 1265) (Volume 1)

Midnight, Westminster Abbey, Friday, October 27, 1307. Lord Cristian Gilleson keeps a lonely vigil at the tomb of King Edward I. Death stalks the Abbey as Edward II, Piers Gaveston and their supporters seek to destroy him before the funeral rites begin. A long night of danger awaits and many will not live to see the dawn. Plot and counter-plot in the dark streets of medieval London as "The King's Jew" reflects on a turbulent life with his king. His enemies are many and supporters few yet he will keep his promise to the greatest of England's monarchs or die in the attempt. Death holds no fears for a man who has walked in the company of kings. This is ‘Historical Faction’ as many of the characters were real people who played such a monumental role in the forging of England. Dates given are, for the most part, accurate. This is the first book of three covering the turbulent life and times of Lord Cristian Gilleson of Longhurst as he charts a dangerous path at the side of his companion Edward the First of England. Reviewers have already compared this work with Mantel and Cornwell in its scope and breadth. And love? Yes there is a love story combined with the brutality of medieval England. The people in this book were just like you and me. The only difference being they lived their lives over seven hundred years ago but in doing so they built the precepts and traditions of modern England.
