Gisborne: Book of Pawns - Book One of The Gisborne Saga

By Prue Batten

The first in the historical fiction trilogy of The Gisborne Saga:
In a story where status means power and survival depends on how the game is played, two people, one a squire wronged in life and one a noblewoman, are drawn together by lust and a lost inheritance in twelfth century England. Guy of Gisborne is a man with secrets, Ysabel of Moncrieff, a naive and opinionated noblewoman whose world comes tumbling down on the death of her mother.
Gisborne is ordered to Aquitaine to escort the young woman home to attend to her grieving father and whilst travelling, she discovers Gisborne's secrets are not just connected with his family but with the throne of England.
And with revenge.
Suddenly this overprotected woman is confronted with the fact that history can be shaped unconscionably by those in power and that she and Gisborne could lose their lives.

A gold medallion winner with Indie Book Readers' Appreciation Group, highly commended in 2012 Golden Claddagh Awards, an honourable mention in the Readers' Favorite Awards and with a five star rating with Reader's Favorites, Gisborne: Book of Pawns continues to rank unbroken in Amazon's Top 100 for biographical fiction within the UK.
