Banished

The Breton Horse Warriors series - Book Four


Banished


It is the summer of 1080, and renowned Breton Horse Warrior, Morvan De Malvais, finds himself banished from his homeland of Brittany. Estranged from family and, more significantly, his brother Luc De Malvais, his forbidden love for Constance, the daughter of King William, has cost him dearly. He had lost her when she was forced to marry Alan Fergant, the heir to Brittany. What is more, Morvan is told that his son was put to death as soon as he was born.
Devastated, he takes his contingent of Horse Warriors to Scotland with Robert Curthose, the eldest son of King William. They are riding to attack and defeat the rebel, King Malcolm, in Edinburgh. It becomes an increasingly dangerous journey for Morvan, travelling with his men from Normandy via Flanders to Scotland. With a price now on his head, the young Horse Warrior is pursued and attacked by paid assassins, determined to claim a purse of silver.
However….. Morvan’s son is still alive and in the safekeeping of his brother, Luc De Malvais. The child is a valuable pawn for both the dark forces of the Vatican and King Philip of France as young Conn is a future heir to Normandy. Can Luc De Malvais protect the boy he has hidden in Brittany with such powerful, wealthy forces searching for him? Will Morvan even live to see his son as he rides into battle against the cunning King Malcolm?
