England, 1176. King Henry II offers imprisoned his rebellious Queen for attempting to overthrow him. But with her conspirators still at large and a failed assassination attempt on his beautiful mistress, Rosamund Clifford, the Ruler must do something to protect his reign. Desperate, Henry turns towards the only man he trusts: a guy whose skills have saved him once before. Sir Benedict Palmer answers the decision, mistakenly believing that his family will remain secure while he attends to his King. As Palmer races to protected the throne for the Ruler, neither guy senses the hand of an excellent schemer, a mystery figure loyal to Henry’s traitorous Queen who’ll stop at nothing at all to start to see the King defeated. The Blood of the 5th Knight can be an intricate medieval murder mystery and a suitable sequel to E. M. Powell’s acclaimed traditional thriller The Fifth Knight.
