Latest #Lockdown #AuthorReading – a second extract from ‘King in Waiting’ by Alex Marchant

In my latest lockdown reading, I was prompted by hearing the first cuckoo of the year up on the moors a week or two ago to share with you a scene from my work-in-progress ‘King in Waiting’, the third book of the series The Order of the White Boar.
