In the Shadow of the Storm: The King's Greatest Enemy #1 by Anna Belfrage




In the Shadow of the Storm: 
The King's Greatest Enemy #1 
By Anna Belfrage


Publication Date: 30th June 2016
Publisher: Timelight Press
Print Length: 385 Pages
Genre: Historical Fiction

Adam de Guirande owes his lord, Roger Mortimer, everything — his life, his lands, even the wife he believes to be Katherine de Monmouth.

England in 1321 is in turmoil. Edward II has forced to exile his favourite, Hugh Despenser, and the barons — Lancaster, Mortimer, and de Bohun — think they have finally broken the king’s will. They are wrong. Edward is already preparing to strike back.

Adam worries his lord has over-reached. Also, there’s the niggling suspicion his new bride isn’t quite what she seems to be. She isn’t: Kit may have been forced to wed him, but what will Adam do when he discovers she is no heiress but a mere bastard sister to the real Katherine?

When the king unleashes his vengeance, personal troubles fade. Mortimer and his men fight to survive.

When hope dies, when death seems inevitable, it falls to Kit to save Adam – if she can.

 Anna Belfrage



Had Anna been allowed to choose, she’d have become a time-traveller. As this was impossible, she became a financial professional with two absorbing interests: history and writing. 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.

Anna has also published The Wanderer, a fast-paced contemporary romantic suspense trilogy with paranormal and time-slip ingredients.

More recently, Anna has been hard at work with her Castilian series. The first book, His Castilian Hawk, published in 2020, is set against the complications of Edward I’s invasion of Wales. His Castilian Hawk is a story of loyalty, integrity—and love. In the second instalment, The Castilian Pomegranate, we travel with the protagonists to the complex political world of medieval Spain, while the third, Her Castilian Heart, finds our protagonists back in England—not necessarily any safer than the wilds of Spain! The fourth book, Their Castilian Orphan, is scheduled for early 2024.

Anna has recently released Times of Turmoil, the sequel to her 2021 release, The Whirlpools of Time. Here she returns to the world of time travel. Where The Whirlpools of Time had Duncan and the somewhat reluctant time-traveller Erin navigating the complexities of the first Jacobite rebellion in Scotland, in Times of Turmoil our protagonists are in Colonial Pennsylvania, hoping for a peaceful existence. Not about to happen—not in one of Anna’s books!

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 Readers’ Favorite medals as well as having won various Gold, Silver and Bronze Coffee Pot Book Club awards.
