Description
Loved Every Page! Best book yet! Great story, fantastic action sequences.One thing I love about this series is the deep humanity and emotions of the characters. Sometimes when reading history or historical fiction it can be easy to assume that previous generations were cold and unfeeling. Life was so harsh and many books portray historical people as one-dimensional.xa0 But of course that isn't the truth. Human beings have had beating hearts, dreams, and felt emotion from Creation on.I really love the characters of this series deeply. Roland, Declan, Millicent, Catherine, Roger. They feel authentic in their portrayal and I admire and enjoy them. Heavier language than the previous two books, just as a heads up for younger readers.I loved The Broken Realm and I cannot wait for Grant's final installment of the Roland Inness Saga. ~ Amazon Reviewer Roland Inness has been knighted for valor at the siege of Acre and sent home to England with a vital message for Queen Eleanor.xa0 But his homecoming proves to be as violent and dangerous as the Crusade he left behind him.xa0 He finds his home burned and his master's family gone--made fugitives by his sworn enemy William de Ferrers. Roland and Declan O'Duinne set out to find Lady Catherine and Millicent de Laval in the wild borderlands of Wales and are drawn into the center of a growing civil war.xa0 Roland, Declan and Millicent must fight for their lives and for the honor of their Earl, as Philip of France and Prince John conspire to end King Richard's rule and Queen Eleanor struggles to hold the King's broken realm together. The Broken Realm , the action-filled sequel to Longbow and Warbow , is the third book in The Saga of Roland Inness. Wayne Grant grew up in a tiny cotton town in rural Louisiana where hunting, fishing and farming are a way of life. Between chopping cotton, dove hunting and Little League ball he developed a love of great adventure stories like Call It Courage and Kidnapped. Like most southern boys he saw the military as an honorable and adventurous career, so it was a natural step for him to attend and graduate from West Point. He just missed Vietnam, but found that life as a 2nd LT in an army broken by that war was not what he wanted. After tours in Germany and Korea, he returned to Louisiana and civilian life. Through it all he retained his love of great adventure writing and when he had two sons he began telling them stories before bedtime. Those stories became his first novel, Longbow . Longbow is the first book in the best-selling, seven-book Saga of Roland Inness series. Read more
