Description: Scotland is occupied; Scottish resistance is crushed.

Eighteen-year-old James Douglas can only watch as the Scottish freedom fighter, William Wallace, is hanged, drawn, and quartered. But even under the heel of a brutal English conqueror, the Scots may still have one hope for freedom: the rightful King of the Scots, Robert the Bruce. James swears fealty to the man he believes can lead the fight against English tyranny.

The Bruce is soon a fugitive, king only in name. The woman James loves is captured and imprisoned. Yet James believes their cause is not lost. He blazes a path in blood and violence, cunning and ruthlessness as he leads a guerrilla war to restore Scotland's freedom. James knows if he is captured he will share Wallace's fate, but what he truly fears is that he has become as merciless as the conqueror he fights.

Reviews: "As a story that focuses on one of the Scottish Wars of Independence, battles, skirmishes, and raids form a major part of the storyline. The plot flows through many key battles, providing a natural tension that draws the reader forward. These battle scenes are notable for their vivid and realistic depiction of medieval battle. In addition, by keeping a tightly focused POV, the scenes effectively draw the reader into the pulse of the battle and the chaos felt by the individual warrior. A Kingdom's Cost is, overall, mostly a story of war and men on campaign. Accordingly, the well-rendered battle scenes were vital to keeping the story engaging.

Anyone seeking an action-packed view into a key period in the First Scottish War of Independence should check out A Kingdom's Cost."
