A Kingdom's Cost (The Black Douglas Trilogy) - Softcover

Father executed. Inheritance seized. Scotland under the heel of a brutal conqueror. Young James Douglas can only stand helpless as the Scottish patriot, William Wallace, is executed. Yet, he has one hope in the rightful king of the Scots, Robert Bruce. James vows to fight for the man he believes can lead the fight against English tyranny. Robert Bruce is soon a fugitive, king in name only. Scotland is occupied, Scottish resistance crushed, the woman James loves a captive. Only he believes their cause is not lost. With driving determination, he blazes a path in blood and violence, in cunning and ruthlessness as he wages a desperate guerrilla war against the English. James knows he risks sharing Wallace's fate, but what he truly fears is that he has become as merciless as the conqueror he fights.
