Shakespeare's Witches tell Banquo, "Thou Shalt 'Get Kings Though Thou Be None". Though Banquo is murdered, his son Fleance gets away. What happened to Fleance? What Kings?The road to kingship had a most inauspicious beginning, and we follow Fleance into exile and death, passing the Witches' prophecy to his son Walter. Born on the wrong side of the blanket and raised in disgrace, Walter was caught inside of a preordained fate he barely understood. In an effort to untangle Banquo's murder and honor his lineage, Walter moved through events that shaped the course of England and Scotland. He served Harold Godwineson, finding himself in the middle of Harold's Welsh campaign. He fought on the Norman side in the Battle of Hastings before the Witches sent him north to find his destiny in Scotland. What promises did the court of Malcolm III hold for him?

REVIEWS:

"A sweeping chronicle of the time period from the late 10th C through the 11th C on the British Isles. The author took on the monumental task of putting life into the snippets of historical record and the lore that represents that time. Truly this book would make an incredible 3+ hour feature movie done in the style of a Lord of the Rings. I can honestly say if you are a fan of Lord of the Rings you will enjoy this book."

Focusing mainly on the characters of Fleance and his bastard son Walter, Rochelle takes us on a historical journey through Wales, England and Normandy,through loves and battles, supernatural visitations and earthly passions, to plot a readable and enjoyable tale which lays the groundwork for what would later be Shakespeare's gift to King James."

"What you are getting in this story is a little bit of fantasy, a lot of war (blood and guts and all but it was a brutal time.) a little bit of romance and a ripping good tale of how the Stuart line came to be. It’s a period in history that I have not read much about so it was fascinating to me. Ms. Rochelle really knows how to bring a period to life and this was one of those books where I didn’t want to put it down and I truly felt as if I was living the story."
