Lord of All: The Legend of Ric....

S. Lewis

Prince Richard and Lady Anne fall in love, but there can never be a match between them. Nobles do not marry for love.


Richard’s rival, King Philip of France finds that he, too, has feelings for Anne—but does he love her only because Richard does? As the characters try to navigate their way through conquest and crusade, they find that duty, honor, and chivalry can be harsh mistresses without regard for love. Can they survive the journey with their honor intact?

Lord of All is written in the tradition of a Medieval Romance but palatable to the modern reader. Human qualities of the historical characters in the book are exposed as they struggle through issues of love, sex, marriage, family, and make choices in situations where right or wrong are not clear.

Historical Fiction Readers Group Egon, Here to comment about ch 4 & 5. Sorry it's taking me so long. Ch. 4- I'm still seeing ", instead of ,"- It seems to be consistent with the commas and quotation marks. I found some sentences to be too passive. Ex: "quickly squelched by" and "by livestock... view book
