The Rogue’s Son is at Court, harbouring a deadly secret
Edmund Mowbray, known as Ned, has been abandoned by everyone, including his father and mother. When Ned is called to Prince Harry’s side at the age of thirteen, he may have found his first true friend. Then the letters begin to arrive, telling Ned that he could be king in Harry’s stead, kindling a fire of ambition.
Fighting in Wales under Prince Harry’s command gives Ned his first taste of war and insight into the duty of a future king – a title that may be his one day, along with wealth and power.
But is Ned’s French aunt truly on his side? And can Ned really betray his one and only friend?
If you love tales of ambition, intrigue and betrayal woven into real, historical events during the reign of Henry IV and Henry V, Ned’s story will be right down your alley.
Grab The Rogue’s Son now and dive into a clever what-if about a hidden contender to the throne.
Mette Holm is a writer of historical fiction focusing on last of the Plantagenet rulers beginning with Richard II. The Mowbray family caught her eye when she was first researching the age and especially Thomas Mowbray was so fascinating, she simply had to write about him and the Mowbray family. The decision led to her first book: At the King’s Command.
Mette Holm has been telling stories all her life, be it in school, at university or even in her day-job as an independent business owner and copywriter. While historical fiction holds a special place in her heart, a yet unfinished fantasy manuscript occupies her top drawer and rumour has it that it will in time be dug out and finished.
As a quirk despite her Danish heritage, she knows more about medieval England than she does about Danish medieval history.
