It’s Medieval Monday! We are featuring author’s choice this time around. Please follow along with the excerpt each week for your chance to win prizes and read exciting romances.

For this week, please help me welcome Lane McFarland! The continuing excerpt is from her novel, A King’s Enemies.

Excerpt –

The ruthless miscreants would not recognize her. They wouldn’t have given the young lass who’d escaped their brutality another thought. But she had thought of them.

Every day.

Every night.

She raked her teeth across her lip. De Seabrooke would journey to Edinburgh soon. She’d better come up with a plan quickly lest she lose her chance to destroy him. Perhaps she would seek the aid of Scottish rebels. It wasn’t the first time she’d considered searching for them, offering information in exchange for their help in removing the vermin.

Although her views didn’t exactly match the rebels’ beliefs, their cause could work to her advantage. They fought for Scotland’s freedom and would jump at any chance to thwart the king. Perhaps a mutual agreement could be reached to benefit them both.

The idea had merit. It would reduce the chance of getting caught.

What her novel is about –

Tormented by King Edward’s brutality against Scottish sympathizers, Drake Fletcher vows revenge, but only a madman single-handedly attacks the Crown. Instead, he enters the royal court as a spy to aid Robert the Bruce’s rise to power and place a formidable leader on Scotland’s throne.

Scottish lass Katherine Mackenzie Armstrong targets three of King Edward’s officers who brutally raped and murdered her mother. Disguised as one of Queen Margaret’s attendants, she sets a course to destroy the men.

The acts of treason both Drake and Katherine commit are punishable by death in The Tower of London but their determination pushes dangerous limits. Considered enemies, they use each other to gain vital information. Neither expect their overwhelming attraction to one another, the staggering emotions stirred. But the closer they become, the more they jeopardize their pledges of vengeance.

Will the weight of retaliation crush them, see them beheaded? Or will Katherine and Drake form an alliance and learn to live and love again?
