The Second Portcullis
A Medieval Tale

In the late summer of 1352, Sir Malcolm Drummond, knight of Scotland, stands in place of his lord against charges of murder and theft of treasure. Though innocent, to save his lord and friends, he surrenders to imprisonment, torture, and promised execution to an enemy who has long had a taste for his blood.  Only one person might help–a peculiar lady with arcane knowledge.  The favorite of his captor, her meddling could greatly worsen the knight’s treatment.  More murders follow, and Drummond must unmask treason, quell rebellion, recover treasure, and save the woman he loves.  With fourteenth-century vocabulary and period details, this easy read will quicken your pulse and leave you gasping for more.
