Crown of the Realm

During the Reign of King Richard II, a knight on the run must defend his family without sacrificing his honor.



FRANCE: In the year of grace, 1190



When the kings of England and France meet at Nonancourt Castle to make final preparations for the Third Crusade, an assassin releases an arrow aimed at the hearts of one of those kings.



The bolt strikes a lady-in-waiting instead. And all fingers point toward Drake fitzAlan, a young knight serving under King Richard the Lionheart.



Drake makes a run for it. Out for blood, raging knights with swords drawn and arrows at the ready chase him hither and yon across the countryside, all hellbent to make him pay.



Just when he makes his escape, Drake is kidnapped and made a pawn by powerful men. They give him two false choices, both of which will lead to his undoing, either in the eyes of his king or in the destruction of his soul.
