[The Stewart Chronicles 03] • A King Imperiled

King James of Scotland is assassinated, and only his six-year-old son, not yet King James II, stands between Scotland and bloody civil war. But how long can Sir Patrick Gray, captain of the king's guard, keep him alive with so many enemies within the royal household and no way to know whom he can trust? When the king's cousins are beheaded through the double-dealing of the trusted royal chancellor, Patrick knows that treachery is close at hand, and keeping the king alive will take every bit of cunning he can summon.
