Love, Duty and Loyalty Collide in a Dramatic Fashion to Determine
King Edward II's Future in the Medieval Historical Romance, The
Lion and the Leopard, by Mary Ellen Johnson --Medieval England in
the reign of Edward II, from 1307-1327-- Maria Rendell wants to be
a dutiful wife to husband Phillip, but can't deny her attraction to
their liege lord, Richard of Sussex. Loving Philip should be easy.
She has married the knight of whom minstrels sing; the knight who
saved Richard's life. But when Phillip abandons Maria to indulge
his wanderlust, she turns to Richard, sparking a scandelous,
passionate affair amidst the crumbling kingdom of Edward II.
Meanwhile, Edward II's barons are rebelling, executing his
favorites, while across the channel in France, Isabella, Edward
II's wife--the She-Wolf of France—plans to invade England. Then
King Edward is captured as Richard and Maria prepare to flee to
safety, and Phillip returns to discover Maria's betrayal. The day
of reckoning is now at hand--not only for Maria, Richard, and
Phillip, but for that most unfortunate of Plantagenet kings, Edward
II. From the Publisher: Readers with a passion for history will
appreciate the author's penchant for detail and accuracy. In
keeping with being authentic to the era, this story contains scenes
of brutality which are true to the time and man's inhumanity. There
are a limited number of sexual scenes and NO use of modern
vulgarity. Fans of Elizabeth Chadwick, Bernard Cornwell and
Philippa Gregory as well as Tamara Leigh and Suzan Tisdale will not
want to miss this series. "Author Mary Ellen Johnson strides
through history with the reader in the front seat."~Karen Lausa ".
. . it challenged my intellect as well as my heart."~Margaret
