In the late 1300s, times were changing for England as Richard II’s power diminished and Henry Bolingbroke, later King Henry IV, began to rise. Hezekiah Strahm, known as The Storm, had gone above and beyond the call of duty in proving himself worthy as a special kind of knight for Richard. The Storm had been a force to be reckoned with as he carried out the underhanded and dirty dealings of his king. That king, however, turned his back on a man who would have remained truly loyal to him, leaving Strahm aimless until he was asked to join the alliance of Richard’s cousin, Henry. Although his beliefs didn’t necessarily fall in line with Bolingbroke’s and he wasn’t certain of the rightness in all the man did or intended, the sting of Richard’s betrayal and a shared secret led to a handshake between him and the soon to be new king.
Years later, with Henry on the throne, Hezekiah retired with his wife, Ivetta, to Caristone Castle in northern England. They watched as their sons continued in their father’s footsteps, serving their king—a king whose reign would be wrought in rebellion and assassination plots, not only from outside his court, but within. Even the allegiances of the sons of The Storm lay more with Henry’s eldest, Henry of Monmouth, and his willingness to use them as part of his military might—a life the children of The Storm had been bred to lead. Hezekiah was proud of his sons, only now he wanted a castle full of grandchildren and contentment for his sons that would come only from finding love with the right ladies—women who could break through the stormy facades of the hardened warriors to capture their hearts and make them complete.
The Sons of The Storm stories are stand alones and can be read in any order, though I will add their written order as the series continues.
