The Path to the Throne: Robert the Bruce (Robert the Bruce Trilogy Book 1)

REVIEWS OF H A CULLEYâ€™S PREVIOUS BOOKS

Iâ€™m not usually somebody who will read a book from cover to cover in one sitting but I couldnâ€™t put this one down.

The author really knows his British history and can tell a good story that should appeal to all ages from teen on up. Another solid, good read from H A Culley.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book from start to finish.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The first book of a new trilogy about Robert the Bruce's and Scotland's historic struggle for independence in the Middle Ages. When King Alexander III is killed at an early age, a struggle for the throne of Scotland between John Balliol, supported by the powerful Comyn clan, and the Bruce family begins. Edward Longshanks, King of England, nicknamed the Hammer of the Scots, seizes the opportunity to declare himself Lord of Scotland and installs John Balliol as a puppet king.

For the next thirty years Scotland has to fight for its independence, led initially by William Wallace until his barbaric execution in London, and then by Robert Bruce who is crowned King of Scots amidst a climate of murder, treachery and shifting loyalties.

This first book takes us from Robertâ€™s childhood to his coronation, which is immediately followed by defeat at the hands of his English foes and their Scottish allies. Robert and a few companions become fugitives and the future looks bleak indeed.
