The Castilian Saga

by Anna Belfrage

In 1282, Edward I’s trusted captain Robert Fitz Stephan is given an unexpected boon: the hand of Elanor d’Outremer in marriage. What Eleanor may think of this is neither here nor there, but over the coming years, Robert and Noor will come to face adventure and danger in Wales, in Aragon, in Castile and France. Come join Robert and his Castilian hawk on this medieval jaunt!

His Castilian Hawk

For bastard-born Robert FitzStephan, being given Eleanor d’Outremer in marriage is an honour. For Eleanor, this forced wedding is anything but a fairy tale.

Robert FitzStephan has served Edward Longshanks loyally since the age of twelve. Now he is riding with his king to once and for all bring Wales under English control. 

Eleanor d’Outremer—Noor to family—lost her Castilian mother as a child and is left entirely alone when her father and brother are killed. When ordered to wed the unknown Robert Fitz Stephan, she has no choice but to comply. 

Two strangers in a marriage bed is not easy. Things are further complicated by Noor’s blood-ties to the Welsh princes and by covetous Edith who has warmed Robert’s bed for years.

 

Robert’s new wife may be young and innocent, but he is soon to discover that not only is she spirited and proud, she is also brave. Because when Wales lies gasping and Edward I exacts terrible justice on the last prince and his children, Noor is determined to save at least one member of the House of Aberffraw from the English king.

Will years of ingrained service have Robert standing with his king or will he follow his heart and protect his wife, his beautiful and fierce Castilian hawk?

The series continues in The Castilian Pomegranate. 

Robert and Noor have been exiled, forbidden to return unless they complete the impossible tasks given them by Queen Eleanor. There will be danger, there will be loss, there will be new friends and enemies as Robert and Noor manoeuvre the complex political situations in Aragon and Castile.

Safely home from their adventures in Castile, one would have thought Robert and Noor could finally relax. Nope. In Her Castilian Heart, they have to handle an angry queen, protect their foundling AND somehow evade Robert’s half-brother who wants nothing more than destroy Robert once and for all.

Twelve years have passed since Robert and Noor first met. Years full of adventure, of loss, of love. In Their Castilian Orphan, everything comes to a head as Wales rises in full rebellion and Edward promises to crush the Welsh, once and for all. Caught in between? Their foster son Lionel—who doesn’t even know he is Welsh!

About Anna:

Anna has authored the acclaimed time travelling series The Graham Saga, set in 17th century Scotland and Maryland, as well as the equally acclaimed medieval series The King’s Greatest Enemy which is set in 14th century England, and The Castilian Saga ,which is set against the medieval conquest of Wales. She has also published a time travel romance, The Whirlpools of Time, and its sequel Times of Turmoil,  and is now considering just how to wiggle out of setting the next book in that series in Peter the Great’s Russia, as her characters are demanding. . . She has successfully avoided Russia (for now) by working on a new book set in medieval Castile, tentatively titled The Queen of Shadows

All of Anna’s books have been awarded the IndieBRAG Medallion, she has several Historical Novel Society Editor’s Choices, and one of her books won the HNS Indie Award in 2015. She is also the proud recipient of various Reader’s Favorite medals as well as having won various Gold, Silver and Bronze Coffee Pot Book Club awards.

“A master storyteller” “This is what all historical fiction should be like. Superb.”

About the Books

Susan writes:

I am one of life’s terriers: once I find something I like, I hang on for dear life! For twenty-five years I ran my own anti-money laundering consultancy – yes, I had one job for a quarter of a century. Now that I am a full-time author (and magistrate), I can think endlessly about financial crime, policing and justice. I have spent years in Regency London with magistrates’ constable Sam Plank – the narrator of my first series of seven historical financial crime novels – and am now working on five novels set in Cambridge and narrated by university constable Gregory Hardiman.

 

The third in this series – Whipster – was published on 4 December. All books are available in paperback and e-book editions, and I am gradually releasing the audiobooks to match.

Gregory Hardiman....

I’m not given to talking about myself, as I think a man’s actions are more important than his words. But I suppose it cannot hurt to explain a little.

My name is Gregory Hardiman – hardy by name, hardy by nature as my father (a tough farmer) always had it. I live now in Cambridge, England, not all that far really from the place of my birth in Norfolk, but in between times I have seen plenty of the world – first fighting Boney in Spain, then guarding convicts in Australia (a God-forsaken land I hope never to visit again). I have witnessed enough of man’s cruelty, and now I prefer to spend my time with horses, working as I do as an ostler at one of Cambridge’s finest inns. (The innkeeper William Bird would have me say that.) 

But last year, after the passing of the 1825 law, I was asked to take on another role, as one of the new University constables in town. In short, we’ve to patrol town in the evenings and make sure that the undergraduates are back in their colleges before the gates are locked – as you can imagine, some are more willing than others to leave their drinks and return to their books.

A wife? Not at present, no – and with this scar on my face, unlikely in the future either. But I have friends and – I hope – those who respect me, and with the wide fens and open sky on my doorstep, I am not lonely.

 The Sam Plank Series

Meet Martha Plank

You will have heard of my husband, I am sure. Constable Samuel Plank has been a magistrates’ constable for more than ten years now, and there’s not many in our part of London – that’s Marylebone – that don’t know him at least by reputation. And as for that reputation, well, I would say he’s a fair man, and definitely a good man, respectful of the law – but sometimes a little quick to temper, and certainly not lacking in confidence when it comes to his own appearance!

And as a husband? Well, you’d have to hunt high and low to find a better. When I first met him I was only fifteen and thought, as young girls will, that there would be plenty of men to choose from and I need not settle too soon. But he was so kind and so patient that I said to myself, Martha, these other fellows are just windmills in your head, whereas this man – this gentle man who reads stories to you and spends his wages on flowers and ices just to see you smile – he’s here and he’s now.
