"An Involuntary King" is a stirring saga of enduring love, conflict, loss, and hope told with passion, action, and humor.
Lawrence sees his father, the king, and his older brother killed at the hands of a would-be usurper. Thrust into the role of ruler, he resolves to become not just a good, but a great king. He is helped by his young bride, Josephine. When the two are separated by war, Josephine turns in her fear and grief to the darkly sensual Breton mercenary, Elerde, who has fallen in love with her; he vows to have her for himself, come what may. Lawrence sends the mercenary away, setting in motion events that will threaten his kingdom.
