Across three paperbacks — Lionheart, Crusader and King — Kane charts the rise of one of England's most legendary warrior-kings, from restless prince to crusading conqueror. Told through Richard and his devoted Irish companion Ferdia, this is meticulously researched historical fiction packed with political intrigue, brutal warfare and unbreakable loyalty. A must-own set for fans of epic historical adventure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe trilogy opens with \u003cem\u003eLionheart\u003c\/em\u003e, set in 1179, as Henry II's fractured Plantagenet dynasty simmers with rebellion. Ferdia, an Irish nobleman taken captive, saves Prince Richard's life and earns his place at his side — the start of a friendship tested by war and betrayal. \u003cem\u003eCrusader\u003c\/em\u003e picks up in 1189, as Richard is crowned King of England and sets out on a crusade to reclaim Jerusalem, the campaign carrying him through France, Italy and Sicily to the brutal siege of the Holy Land. The concluding volume, \u003cem\u003eKing\u003c\/em\u003e, opens in autumn 1192: with Jerusalem still under Saracen control and an uneasy peace with Saladin, Richard is finally free to return home — only to be shipwrecked, captured and held for ransom. Ferdia remains at his side through captivity, political peril and the burden of kingship. Together the novels form a sweeping portrait of one of history's most celebrated warrior kings, grounded in research and Kane's gift for bringing the medieval world vividly to life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete three-book paperback set following one continuous story arc, ideal to read in sequence or as a gift set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRichly researched historical detail bringing 12th-century warfare, politics and daily life to vivid life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrom a Sunday Times bestselling author praised as a leading voice in historical fiction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact, easy-to-carry paperback format, perfect for commuting, travel or bedtime reading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA satisfying, self-contained trilogy — great for history lovers, book clubs and gift buyers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFollows the enduring friendship of Richard the Lionheart and his loyal companion Ferdia across two decades\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBen Kane was born in Kenya and raised in Ireland before training and working as a veterinarian in the UK, New Zealand and Australia.
