The King's Own
by W. Marshall
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Low Fantasy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
The
King’s Own are as feared as they are ruthless, doing all of those hard, and
sometimes terrible, things necessary to ensure the safety of the realm. Owing
allegiance to the King alone, they are his spies, his assassins, and his
advisors. They exist to walk in the shadows, to enforce the King’s will, to
change the course of entire wars, and to root out dissenters. They live without
family, in service to the crown, unknown and unsung.
A
young man conscripted to fight in a war far away from home. Blood and loss
tempered with hope and a vow. Recruited into the King’s Own, he must learn
quickly to do whatever it takes to serve the kingdom so that others can live
their lives in relative peace and safety. But just how far will he go to keep
his oath, especially when the King is murdered?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT THREE:
“Cousin!”
Countess Lucretia exclaimed as she emerged from her carriage. Her eyes had met
mine as she stepped down, instantly recognizing me as the one who had written
the letter we had smuggled in. Only the gods knew how. She embraced me, kissing
me on both cheeks, the scent of her perfume something I wasn’t used to. I
responded in kind, Commodus’s lessons in decorum suddenly paying off. “I am
beside myself that you would join us in our darkest hour.”
She
turned to Lord Commander Emren, giving him a curtsy. “I thank thee, Lord
Commander, for this kindness.” The Lord Commander inclined his head, gracious
despite the fact he didn’t have to be, not with hundreds of soldiers and
knights behind him. I climbed into the carriage with the Countess, Commodus
climbing on top with the driver, playing his role.
“What
game is this you are playing?” the Countess demanded as soon as the door shut.
The horses set out, pulling us along. “I need an army to break this siege, but
all I get is one boy with a beard to hide his age and a middle-aged man?” I
fought back the heat I felt rising, swallowing her insult and instead focusing
on the task at hand.
“We
are the King’s Own, your Grace.”

This book is "my cup of tea", looking forward to reading it!
ReplyDeleteI love reading about new books and authors. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteWas just wondering what inspired the author to write the King's Own?
ReplyDeleteHi, Cindy! Thank you for the question!
DeleteI've had the idea for this book floating around in my head since high school, which was...longer ago than I care to admit. I wanted to tell a tale about one person, what makes them who they are, and how events and decisions they make along the way can shape an entire kingdom.
I'm always on the lookout for a new author to enjoy...and I'm pretty sure I just found one!
ReplyDeleteIs there a favorite book out there you wish they would turn into a movie?
ReplyDeleteWas wondering what's next for the author, in terms of the next book?
