In keeping with the era, this story contains scenes of brutality which are true to the time and man's timeless inhumanity. There are a limited number of sexual scenes and NO use of modern vulgarity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrom the Author: \u003c\/b\u003eThere is nothing new under the sun. If we seek to understand today's events, history will always provide the answer. By 1398 the megalomaniacal Richard II had consolidated his power, executed or banished all his enemies and destroyed all those who might speak out in opposition to him. Two years later Richard was deposed, thrown into a dungeon in Pontefract Castle and starved to death. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLessons: We can never predict the future; actions always have unintended consequences; we sow the seeds of our own destruction and payback's a bitch! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eTHE KNIGHTS OF ENGLAND, in series order\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Lion and the Leopard\u003cbr\u003eA Knight There Was\u003cbr\u003eWithin A Forest Dark\u003cbr\u003eA Child Upon The Throne\u003cbr\u003eLords Among the Ruins\u003cbr\u003eThe Flames of Rebellion\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMary Ellen Johnson's writing career was sparked by her passion for Medieval England. Her first medieval historical, \u003ci\u003eThe Lion and the Leopard\u003c\/i\u003e, was followed by \u003ci\u003eThe Landlord's Black-Eyed Daughter\u003c\/i\u003e, a historical novel based on the Alfred Noyes poem, \"The Highwayman.\" (Published under the pseudonym, Mary Ellen Dennis.) Landlord was chosen as one of the top 100 historical romances of 2013. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAfter taking a twenty year detour in a quixotic quest to change the world--rather like Arthurian knights' quests to find the holy grail, which ended in similar failure--Mary Ellen has happily returned to historical fiction writing and her favorite time period, the tumultuous fourteenth century. Her five book series, \u003ci\u003eKnights of England\u003c\/i\u003e, follows the fortunes of the characters (and their progeny) introduced in \u003ci\u003eThe Lion and the Leopard\u003c\/i\u003e through the Black Death, the reign of that most gloriously medieval of monarchs, Edward III, the 1381 Peasants' Revolt, and ends with the deposition and murder of Richard II in 1399. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThere is nothing Mary Ellen loves more than bringing Medieval England alive for the reader. She particularly enjoys researching battles, campaigns, the daily lives of both lord and peasant, and trying to figure out our ancestors' thought processes, particularly how they viewed their world. Oh, and did she mention the castles and cathedrals? Mary Ellen likes to say her favorite place in all the world is standing before the tomb of the Black Prince in Canterbury Cathedral. (Hyperbole, of course, since Mary Ellen is not that well-traveled and her favorite places are probably wherever her kids and grandkids reside.) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHowever--and the very recounting gives her chills--a distant cousin recently shared the results of her years-long genealogical research on the family tree. When flipping back and back through the centuries, Mary Ellen began finding names that were hauntingly familiar--John of Gaunt, Edward the Black Prince, Edward II, Edward III, even Richard the Lionheart! All the historical characters she's spent a lifetime reading and writing about! How can that be? Genetic memory? Reincarnation? She has no idea but you can bet she'll be exploring the possibilities in future novels! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the meantime, Mary Ellen hopes you'll enjoy reading \u003ci\u003eThe Lion and the Leopard, A Knight There Was, Within a Forest Dark\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLords Among the Ruins\u003c\/i\u003e as much as she's enjoyed writing them.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 316\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.71 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 04, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48875240194297,"sku":"9781644571965","price":25.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/xPGXcL5eGb9781644571965_d358a2bc-4a0f-4c50-ae76-ba5994ec2952.webp?v=1787333515","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/flames-of-rebellion-a-medieval-romance-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
