In the Shadow of My Truth is the second book in the series on Clan Douglas and Scotland’s Wars for National Independence. The year was 1306; Scotland needed a revolution, a new king to lead her subjects to freedom. Robert Brus answered the call. James Douglas joined him. This is the true story of the Good Sir James, one of Scotland’s most beloved knights. It is also the tale of a widow’s struggle to revenge her husband’s martyred end. Eleanora Lovaine Douglas inspired her three sons to greatness, instilling her husband’s teachings and core values in her children; fulfilling her death bed promise to her loving husband, continuing the fight for Scotland to rid their homeland of Edward’s tyranny forever.
A new Regent was leading Scotland in the fall of 1332. Robert the Brus had been buried at Dunfermline Abbey; his most loyal lieutenants James Douglas and Thomas Randolph were dead as well. Tragedy struck quickly at Duplin Moor; the subterfuge of Scots in sympathy to Edward Balliol and the Disinherited led many bravepatriots to their unnecessary deaths. This third book of the Douglas Trilogy, the sequel to the Braveheart legacy takes the reader through the volatile years of the 14th century as the author crafts the true stories of the next generation of Douglas knights; the grandsons of Sir William le Hardi, Lord Douglas. Returning from their exile in Normandy and adventures in Piacenza, Italy, young William and his cousin Archibald the Grim seize the gauntlets of the doughty Douglas; the Patriotic Cause stirring in their blood they set their sights on liberating Scotland. Follow these Earls of Douglas as they embrace the words of the old Crusader; following their truth, defending the cause of Freedom in this exciting conclusion of the real-life story of the Douglas Clan and the Scottish Wars for National Independence.
