The Bruce’s Treasure

By L.A. Kristiansen

From the The Scots Wars of Independence – The Independence Chronicles Series.

Scotland, 1306. A fractured kingdom. A hunted king. A secret that could alter Europe’s fate.
King Robert the Bruce, bruised by betrayal and hunted by English forces, slips northward through mist and deception towards the rugged isles of Orkney. With him travels not only the hope of Scottish sovereignty—but a noble rival to England’s crown and whispers of a treasure whose legend could tip the balance of empires.
From Norwegian fjords to the gilded courts of Byzantium, power-hungry monarchs stir. They are drawn not merely by gold, but by fear. Regimes tremble. Thrones creak. And the treasure may offer salvation… or signal ruin.
The Bruce’s Treasure is the explosive third chapter in a sweeping eight-part saga that tears through the Scottish Wars of Independence with razor-sharp intensity. From shattered vows to secret pacts, this is a tale of men willing to lose their honour—and their lives—for the ultimate prize of independence.
