About this ebook
‘This was the original GAME OF THRONES’ George R.R. Martin
Available for the first time in English, THE KING WITHOUT A KINGDOM is the seventh and final volume of The Accursed Kings series.
The reign of the Capetian kings has ended and John II, ‘The Good’, second of the Valois dynasty, has taken the throne.
Under his leadership the Hundred Years War, one of the longest and bloodiest conflicts in history, escalates and England and France begin to tear each other apart.
Cardinal Périgord, narrating the drama, shows us a monarch as vain and cruel as he is incompetent. Under his turbulent reign, warring factions plunder the land, famine threatens the people and the Black Death spreads far and wide. France is bleeding to death around the new king.
Maurice Druon
Maurice Druon was a French resistance hero, a Knight of the British Empire and a holder of the Grand Croix de la Légion d'Honneur. He was also a member of the Académie Française and a celebrated novelist, best known for his series of seven historical novels under the title of The Accursed Kings, which were twice adapted for television. A passionate Anglophile, he was a great expert on all things English, including its medieval history, which provides great inspiration for the series.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I read this book long ago, so I do not remember pretty well several facts that are in it I just remember that I read it because I need it to finish the saga, it was such a good saga that I need it to know how the author close this story that is part of Europe?s history. The narrative is very different from the rest I will not say that this is bad but I just did not feel that this book was as rich as the others in it;s writing, maybe Druon did not know how to close it properly but I feel that he made this book just to close the last open stories of the other books, nevertheless is a pretty good saga.
