"[Elizabeth Chadwick] makes historical fiction come gloriously alive"—The Times of London From New York Times bestselling historical fiction author, Elizabeth Chadwick, comes a bundle of the first three gripping and romantic books about William Marshal, medieval England's Greatest Knight. Elizabeth Chadwick's William Marshal series is an irresistible combination British royalty, medieval honor, stirring romance, and intoxicating power. The Greatest Knight A penniless young knight with few prospects, William Marshal is plucked from obscurity when he saves the life of Henry II's formidable queen, Eleanor of Aquitaine. In gratitude, she appoints him tutor to the heir to the throne, the volatile and fickle Prince Henry. But being a royal favorite brings its share of danger and jealousy as well as fame and reward. The Scarlet Lion By 1197 William Marshal's prowess with a sword and loyalty with his heart have been well rewarded But his contentment and security is shattered when King Richard dies. Forced down a precarious path by the royal injustices of the vindictive King John, Marshal teeters on a razor-thin line of honor that threatens to tear apart the very heart of his family. For the King's Favor When William Marshal's peer, Roger Bigod arrives at King Henry II's court to settle a bitter inheritance dispute, he becomes enchanted with Ida de Tosney, young mistress to the powerful king. A victim of Henry's seduction and the mother of his son, Ida sees in Roger a chance to begin a new life. But Ida pays an agonizing price when she leaves the king, and as Roger's importance, their marriage comes under increasing strain. This bundle is the perfect introduction to a riveting historical series by the master of medieval fiction.

Book Description
"Everyone who has raved about Elizabeth Chadwick as an author of historical novels is right."—Devourer of Books on The Greatest Knight In another remarkable work of medieval fiction, Elizabeth Chadwick continues the tale of The Greatest Knight, and shares a story of power, chaos, and the price of loyalty. William Marshal's skill with a sword and loyalty to his word have earned him the favor of kings, the lands of a magnate, and the hand of Isabelle de Clare, one of England's wealthiest heiresses. But he is thrust back into the chaos of court when King Richard dies. The vindictive new king clashes with William, claims the Marshal lands for the Crown—and takes two of William's sons hostage. The price of his loyalty to the Crown suddenly seems too high and the very heart of William and Isabelle's family is at stake. Fiercely intelligent and fearing for the man and marriage that light her life, Isabelle plunges with her husband down a rebellious path that will lead William to more power than he ever expected. Brilliantly researched and deeply compelling, Elizabeth Chadwick delivers another masterpiece of medieval historical fiction, with favor, drama, and damaged loyalty that will keep you rapt until the very end. "Elizabeth Chadwick is a gifted novelist and a dedicated researcher; it doesn't get any better than that."—Sharon Kay Penman, New York Times bestselling author More Novels of Elizabeth Chadwick's William Marshal: The Greatest Knight The Scarlet Lion For the King's Favor Templar Silks To Defy a King
