The first novel in The Kingdom Series as Robert Low moves from the
Vikings to the making of Scotland. It is 1296 and Scotland is in
turmoil. The old king, Alexander III, has died after falling off
his horse one dark and stormy night. Scotland's future is in peril.
Edward I of England, desperate to keep control of his northern
borders, arranges for John Baliol, a weak man who Edward knows he
can manipulate, to take leadership of Scotland. But unrest is rife
and many are determined to throw off the shackles of England. Among
those men is Robert the Bruce, darkly handsome, young, angry and
obsessed by his desire to win Scotland's throne. He will fight for
the freedom of the Scots until the end. But there are many rival
factions and the English are a strong and fearsome opponent. The
Lion Wakes culminates in the Battle of Falkirk which proves to be
the beginning of a rivalry that will last for decades...
