Description
Dragon's Lair by Sharon Kay Penman In July 1193, King Richard Lionheart lies imprisoned in Germany, held for ransom by the emperor. His mother, Dowager Queen Eleanor, embarks on a perilous quest to secure his freedom, while her younger brother John plots against him with King Philippe of France. As tensions escalate, a young man named Justin de Quincy is dispatched to investigate a missing ransom payment. His journey takes him to wild and beautiful Wales, where he must navigate treacherous alliances and deadly conspiracies. With assassins lurking in every shadow, the queen's treasure is nowhere to be found, but blood runs red in the dragon's lair. A gripping tale of loyalty, deception, and survival, Dragon's Lair is a story of one man's quest to uncover the truth and bring justice to a kingdom torn apart by power struggles and betrayal.
