Her Perilous Game (No Man is Her Master Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Lee Swanson (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 8 ratings
Eager to expand upon her success as a 14th century Hanseatic merchant, Christina Kohl embarks on a dangerous journey in the pursuit of great profits. But will she be just as ready to risk her life for duty, honor, and the lives of those she holds dear? In 14th century Europe, a respectable woman was expected to marry at a young age, often to a man she did not love, with the remainder of her days to be spent managing a household and enduring a yearly visit to the birthing chair. For eighteen-year old Christina Kohl, that life could not be further from the one she now leads. She has become a master merchant, fending for herself in an evolving world of trade and social upheaval where things are not always as they seem, least of all Christina herself. Although she has been accepted by the German merchant community in London as one of their own, it is only by being disguised as her dead brother, Frederick. With a shipload of English wool, she sets off on an audacious winter crossing of the stormy English Channel to the Flemish city of Bruges. She faces more dangers than the weather, however. She has incurred the wrath of the leader of the German trade guild in London, even more so that of his scheming daughter. Just as worrisome to her is the deteriorating political situation in England, where the power of the king, Edward II, is sorely challenged by an alliance of his most powerful barons, who also seek to destroy her friend, the King’s favorite, Piers Gaveston. With few allies upon whom she can rely, Christina must defend what she has attained with a quick wit, strong sword arm, and a valiant heart. But will these be enough to defeat the enemies who circle about her like hungry wolves? Her Perilous Game is the exciting sequel to No Man’s Chattel and the second volume in the series, No Man is Her Master.

Review

"Thrilling read from start to finish. A fantastic work of historical

fiction! Once you start reading, you can't stop!"

-Dan M., Amazon.com Review


". . . whether you are into medieval novels or not, Lee Swanson's

book is worth reading for the boldness of the subject and the

crafting of the story."

-Historical Fiction Book Club


"Excellent. I'm just impatiently waiting for book three.

-Rachel S., Amazon.com Review

About the Author

Lee Swanson has enjoyed a lifelong interest in medieval history. He lived in Germany and England for over twenty-five years, first as a soldier and then as a teacher before returning to the United States. Graduating summa cum laude from the University of North Florida with a master's degree in European History, Lee's thesis centered on the Hansa, a confederation of merchants from primarily northern German cities. Many of the colorful characters who populate his novels are drawn from the lives of these resolute wayfarers who traveled the waterways of Europe in search of profit and prestige. Lee, his wife Karine, and their dog Banjo now split their time between the beautiful Shenandoah Valley in Virginia and San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.

Lee Swanson is a retired soldier and teacher who is the author of the No Man is Her Master historical fiction series, including the titles "No Man’s Chattel," "Her Perilous Game," and the recently released "A Dangerous Journey Home."

Lee has enjoyed a lifetime interest in medieval history. Living in both Germany and England for extended periods of his life, he has traveled extensively throughout Europe, seeking out-of-the-way places with little-known stories to tell. Among these are the Scottish Marches that figure prominently in "Her Perilous Game" and the Kattegat shoreline of the Jutland Peninsula that is the setting for much of "Her Dangerous Journey Home."

Holding a Master’s Degree in European History from the University of North Florida, Lee’s thesis centered on the Hansa, a confederation of merchants from primarily northern German cities in the 12th through seventeenth centuries. Many of the colorful characters who populate his novels are drawn from the lives of these resolute wayfarers who traveled the waterways of Europe in search of profit and prestige.

Lee, his wife Karine, and their dog, Banjo now split their time between Virginia's beautiful Shenandoah Valley and San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. A return visit to Europe is planned for the spring of 2024..

    This is book 2 in the series and it pulls you right into the continuing story. Amazing story line with relatable characters you come to know and love. This is a series you are thrilled to read and dread getting to the end of the current book. Can't wait to start book 3.
