Elizabeth's nineteenth novel, To Defy a King, won the RNA Historical Novel Prize in 2011.
Unputdownable. Elizabeth Chadwick weaves a gripping story. Her characters live and breathe and have distinct personalities of their own. The pace keeps the reader turning the pages, and the sadness of reaching the final page is only offset by the knowledge that there is another book to come. - Historical Novel Society I have been an ardent fan of this author for many years and look forward with keen anticipation to the third book in this trilogy. Highly recommended. - Historical Novel Society
