Countenance of War

A Historical Novel of Scotland (The Black Douglas Trilogy, Book 2)

By: J.R. Tomlin

Narrated by: Gary Furlong

Fourteenth-century Scotland suffers under the heel of England's King Edward, and James Douglas refuses to submit to the conqueror. As he wages a scorched-earth guerrilla war to drive out the invader and reclaim his birthright, Edward brings a vast army to crush the Scots. In the midst of the brutal war, even the woman James loves is threatened by his implacable duty.

A man caught in the clash of two nations rushes to his destiny in this novel of passion, loyalty, cunning, and ruthlessness. The conflict reaches a bloody crescendo as the Scots and English cross swords in a reckoning that will determine Scotland's very survival.

Sir James Douglas

One of my favorite historical figures and I found a trilogy of books based on his life. Love it.

Enjoyed like the first one

Wanting to listen to book 3 now.
My husband was shocked that I was listening to a nook which is mostly about wars. Learning history through fiction is enjoyable. It makes me look deeper in researching what the actual events were and timeline.

Great story

Abrupt ending - it felt like it stopped half way through the battle! Overall very enjoyable
