Final novel in this deadly game of kings The Kingdom Series is an extraordinary set of books that combines brilliant research with no quarter storytelling and I can’t recommend these novels enough to any reader who has been looking for this kind of page turning epic. Three titles comprise this saga about the deadly affairs of Scotland and England during the 13th and 14th centuries and The Lion Rampant is the final novel in this bloody game of kings. As with the other books, The Lion Rampant opens with a brief summary of previous record of historic fact and fictional happenings. These events are slowly pressed into the continuing chronicle that is being preserved by a fictional monk years after the shadows of actions have passed. A drawing voice will then beckon the reader to come closer to a lit tallow candle and hear the tale of: power, betrayal, love, madness, pride, revenge, the making of Scotland and the Battle of Bannockburn. By the end, believe me this is one story you won’t want to leave or forget. The adventures and excellent drama about an enthralling portion of the past may be over but for this reader, I couldn’t have asked for a better holiday from reality and this is one collection of books and author I will never forget. Mr. Low has a spectacular way with words and he deftly applies his gift of storytelling and striking descriptive passages to complete this jewel of a series. Like the previous titles in this saga, The Lion Rampant has all the treachery, mystery, a touch of romance, counterplots and built-up action that then roars and thunders on the battlefield where it will all end and begin for many. Exotic locales are visited this time along with the promise of ancient treasure and it gets more exciting as the pages turn. I could go further but I don’t want to let any surprises out so all I have left to say is- Bravo Mr. Low! I can’t wait to see what I will find with the Oathsworn series. -purchased and read on kindle Books in this series: The Lion Wakes (The Kingdom Series, Book 1) by Robert Low The Lion at Bay (The Kingdom Series, Book 2) by Robert Low *The Lion Rampant (The Kingdom Series, Book 3) by Robert Low -EGP/June 2016 Comments are closed.
