King Richard the Lionheart is on crusade, and his treacherous brother is not slow to see the possibilities. His rebellion results in a fight for power by marriage or murder, whichever is most convenient. Elizabeth discovers that an heiress is a desirable, disposable commodity in this cruel contest. She is rescued by the sardonic Sir Luke, but discovers he's not above bloodshed and abduction on his own account when required. Lionheart Chronicles are epic adventures set in the wild ten year reign of King Richard the Lionheart; dramatic tales of kidnap, murder and romance against an authentic historical background. Anarchy tears England apart while the king is on crusade, and war follows his return; an excellent backdrop for love and mayhem.
