Lion Without Claws

House of Howard Saga #3

by Philippa Wiat

Grief-stricked by his father's execution, Philip Howard - heir to the Duke of Norfolk - curses God and becomes a Devil's disciple. Later, when he is received at the Elizabethan Court, his handsome looks and flamboyant charm gain him the attention of the Queen, and he totally neglects his young wife for the caresses of his ageing Royal mistress.

Ruthless and dissolute, a man of whom it was said there was no vice unknown, Philip took what he wanted from life. Philip Howard was master of his fate, captain of his soul, until he came under the influence of a stronger power than the Queen of England...
