Free Book (Kindle/Kobo) - For the King's Favor

koland · 03-01-2011, 03:40 AM

For the King's Favor, by Elizabeth Chadwick, free in Canada, Australia and no doubt will catch up to US customers later (although UK customers seem to have been skipped on this one).

Book Description
A Bittersweet Tale of Love, Loss, and the Power of Royalty

When Roger Bigod arrives at King Henry II’s court to settle a bitter inheritance dispute, he becomes enchanted with Ida de Tosney, young mistress to the powerful king. A victim of Henry’s seduction and the mother of his son, Ida sees in Roger a chance to begin a new life. But Ida pays an agonizing price when she leaves the king, and as Roger’s importance grows and he gains an earldom, their marriage comes under increasing strain. Based on the true story of a royal mistress and the young lord she chose to marry, For the King’s Favor is Elizabeth Chadwick at her best.

Got a message on my blog, this one was apparently a publisher pricing error, so they changed it sometime this afternoon. You can grab it on Kobo, if you are fast, though.

Thanks for the Kobo link; I just got it. I missed it on Amazon earlier, thinking it would show up as an epub at BN.

Still available free at Kobo. Thanks!

Thanks for the heads-up - was able to get it from Kobo. Now if I could just find it on my computer...

In mine, it DLed to the "Reader" library folder for Adobe. Moved it to calibre from there!

For reasons unknown, this is now free for UK Kindle customers (only in the US store, though):

Still free at Kobo, as well.

The much-anticipated sequel, To Defy a King is on sale for $2.39 in the US.

Note that these two books are sort of sequels to Greatest Knight and Scarlet Lion, which were free or on sale for a few days weeks and months ago.

Those two outstanding books were based on the real life of William Marshal, who was considered the greatest knight who ever lived (wiki him), and is truly one of the most fascinating stories in history.

These two books follow the life of his daughter; he is also in them.

These two are very good, but not great as Greatest Knight and Scarlet Lion, were. Those made my re-read-often list.
