To Hold the Crown, previously published as Uneasy Lies the Head
Now, to the fun part... which Plaidy novel starts with:
'A King cannot have too many children, if they be bastards,' mused the King. 'It is only the legitimate ones with which he should be sparing. Too many legitimate sons can cause friction, as in my own family. But bastards can be thrown a castle or two, honours, titles and they may boast throughout their lives of their royal connection, and be loyal often, for a man will be loyal to that of which he is proud. But even so a King should have more than one legitimate son, for in what sad case he is if by evil fortune he should lose his heir.'
**Please, if you already have To Hold the Crown and do not need to be entered in the contest, do not guess and ruin it for the others :) Thank you!
I have no clue but wanted to say hello Ladies! Hope you are both well. I hope to get back on track with Plaidy in 2010. Miss you gals :)
ReplyDeleteI am totally stumped here ladies. I looked through the 10 books I have and it isn't any of them. I was originally thinking Revolt of the Eaglets, but I don't think so now.
ReplyDeleteHello, could it be The Prince of Darkness?
ReplyDeleteGreat teaser of an introduction!

What about Revolt of the Eaglets? I'm sure I've read those words.
ReplyDeleteCould it be Uneasy lies the head. Totally random as I havent a clue!
ReplyDeleteNo one has guessed it yet. I'll give it another day and then start with hints :)
ReplyDeleteOkay, here's your hint: Someone had guessed Henry II from Revolt of the Eaglets, which was a VERY good guess, because he felt the same way. However, this king came before Henry II.
ReplyDeleteHaven't read that many of her books but my random guess is The Lion of Justice.
ReplyDeleteNo, not The Lion of Justice. The book is not necessarily about the king of the quote.
ReplyDeleteTo Hold the Crown? This one is so hard, I've looked through all my Plaidy's and can't find it either so I'm just guessing.
ReplyDeleteHow about The Bastard King?
ReplyDeleteNo, not The Bastard King! Getting close!
ReplyDeleteThe Lion of Justice?
ReplyDeleteIs it a book in a series?
ReplyDeleteYes, it's in a series. No, it's not The Lion of Justice ;) This is too hard... I guess it wasn't such a great idea after all, lol!
ReplyDeleteThe Passionate Enemies? I have spent several hours trying to figure this out Arleigh LOL. But hey it's been fun!
ReplyDeletethis search has been lots of fun for sure! Im thinking it might be The Plantagenet Prelude?
ReplyDeleteIs this from The Bastard King?
ReplyDeleteOkay, Alaine, you guessed it after all! It's from The Passionate Enemies! Send your mailing info to arleighjohnson@gmail.com :D
ReplyDeleteCongrats Alaine! =)
ReplyDelete~Bella
That's so cool! It took me long enough LOL! Thanks Arleigh!
ReplyDeleteThat was difficult because it is a sentiment expressed in so many of the novels!
ReplyDeleteOh I'd love to read this. I have no clue which one that is though. Hmmmm...yeah, no clue.
ReplyDeleteThe King's Secret Matter
ReplyDeleteJust a guess.
The Rose Without a Thorn? Oh I have no idea as I am new to Plaidy's writing, I'd really just love to have a chance to read another!
