About this ebook

He is not the enemy she came to fight.

Idris the Slayer is the champion of the northern kings. Undefeated in battle, the dark, lone warrior who rides to war with a black wolf at his side spreads fear before him, even among those counted his allies.

When Rhiannon of Galleva rides to her first battle with Emrys and Cai, she expects to fight the Saxon hoards pouring into Britain. She is not braced to defend herself against Idris’ incursion into her heart.

He is a dangerous man to be drawn to, for his allegiance lies with King Lot of Lothian and Orkney, who holds no love for Uther, the aging High King. Rhiannon’s parents, Anwen and Steffan, are loyal to the High King, as is Count Ector, Cai’s father. Rhiannon’s association with a northern man tears open secrets that have brewed for a generation, forcing Uther and his commanders to fight enemies on two fronts.

This novel is part of the historical fantasy romance series, Once and Future Hearts, set in Britain during the time of King Arthur.

Praise for War Duke of Britain

Imagine how good is the author in her craft that she is capable of surprising us here readers even though the Arthurian cycle is one of the most rewritten one in western literature.

What a great storyteller! I never thought that anyone could tell an Arthurian tale as well as Mary Stewart, but Tracy Cooper Posey has succeeded. I am just in awe of her ability to meld historical detail with legends and turn out a mesmerizing story.

It takes me back to the magic I felt when reading Mary Stewart's stories of Merlin. Tracy Cooper-Posey has written another winner!

As a long time, self proclaimed Arthurian Legend junkie I couldn't wait to dive into Tracy Cooper Posey's new series. Tracy once again proves to be a master story teller as she weaves the delicate threads of this beloved legend into her own.

Oh my goodness. Of course I was not sure what to expect with this but what I got was a wonderful story set in the time just before King Arthur. Invading Saxons, Romans, Kings, princesses, mysteries, Merlin, and romance? Wonderful beginning to a new series and I cannot wait to read more.

I also love the fact that her female characters are definitely not boring, whiny or TSTL.

Tracy Cooper Posey is brilliant at weaving stories with individuals that are completely believable in their thoughts and dialogue.

Ms Tracy has an amazing way of telling a tale. It’s magical :-)

Ratings and reviews

This was easily the most exciting medieval war book I have ever read! Fast paced it tells the crucial events of the beginning of a new age in this colourful and action packed retelling of the Arthurian legend. We all know the basics of the legend and so it is easy to predict how the story unfolds. Still the author manages to grip us in a parallel narrative that enlivens and creates a very welcome romantic subplot to the main battle and politics of the story. This time around we have Rhiannon the daughter of the couple we accompanied in the last instalment, Steffan and Anwen. She was raised with the son of one of the British lords but also with the bastard Emrys with the guidance of Myrddin, both of whom are surrounded by secrets that will soon unfold. A call to arms leads the household to fight the Saxons and to bloody battles, betrayals but also to love. Rhiannon can’t help the attraction to a mysterious northern fighter, Idris, but he has a powerful secret that keeps them apart. The resolution is satisfying as expected but manages to garner enough momentum ending in a bitter sweet resolution that will keep you waiting in anticipation for the next instalment of the story. A great book overall but we must keep in mind the previous stories especially in the first chapters. There are many characters, the names are difficult and many are similar making the glossary in the beginning a good tool to follow the plot. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader copy of this book.

The detail and storytelling of War Duke of Britain is vivid and creates beautiful imagery. This is the fourth book in the series and still continues to be exciting and noteworthy. This is a fantasic story in the medieval times era.
