Christmas 1411. Ailing King Henry IV of England must choose which of his sons will go on campaign to France the coming spring. And so, he summons his family to Kenilworth Castle, for the Christmas feast days, which are about to be fraught with scheming. The cast includes his new wife who is step mother to his grown children, his power hungry oldest son, his untrustworthy illegitimate brother, the kidnapped Scottish king, and an entire castle full of vengeful ghosts. After a lifetime of war Henry isn't suited to peace. Nor is his family.

It's going to be a very long two weeks.

Inspired by true events.

The Trials of Gideon Book 2: Steal the Dark by kullman

Gideon's got a riddle, a cursed tomb, and a new mess of problems. He finds himself in the middle of France, with an old enemy and a new foe. He's in a dead zone with no magic, no idea how he got here, and no plan. It's 1445, everyone's got a secret, and an old grudge is about to turn deadly for the people of Wales and England alike. Sequel Series to Last Knights of Cambria series, and the Days of the Dead trilogy, ergo it contains spoilers for those. Similar narrative style and tone, that is if you want English history explained like Lemony Snicket, then this is for you. Ahem. Living people die, dead people live. Swords. Epic Battles. Mysterious riddles. Coded messages. True love. Traitors. Murder. Found families. Yes, Henry V is here and he is awesome. Did we mention swords? Battles are described in loving detail. People are not. Yes you may learn something about the Siege of Meaux, but that's a risk you're going to have to take. Content Warning: some violence, peril, and some strong language. Death issues discussed. A character may be seen as suicidal. A character experiences issues relating to an abusive parent. Some family trauma. Some dark humor.

King Henry by ShellyWritesBooks

Medieval England - Year 1450: Eleanor was a poor shopkeeper's daughter whose only hope for a better life for herself and her family was to marry well. When she caught the eye of Thomas Fletcher, a royal courtier of noble blood, her family thought he was the answer to all their problems. Eleanor thought he was unattractive and rude, but she didn't have any better options as a poor commoner so she accepted his proposal. They just had to somehow convince King Henry that she was a suitable bride for Thomas so he would approve of their union, because marrying Thomas meant that she would join Henry's inner circle as a courtier. At just twenty three years old Henry had to take over as the King of England when his father passed away unexpectedly. On his first day presiding over the royal court, he was faced with a tough decision, should he approve Thomas' marriage to Eleanor, a commoner that he was almost certain was unfit to join his Royal Court? He decided the only fair way to decide was to have her stay at his castle for a week as his guest so he could see for himself if she had what it took to withstand the pressure of the life of a royal courtier. What King Henry didn't count on was the feelings that started to grow for that commoner throughout the week. She was already betrothed to someone else and even if she wasn't, a King could never marry a commoner. But he also couldn't ignore the growing need he felt inside to be with her, even if it would throw his country into a civil war and turn both of their lives upside down. He knew some things were worth fighting for.

House Lancaster would only be made up of three kings, but their reigns would leave a mark on England and France for centuries to come.

In 1413 At the age of 45 Henry IV dies peacefully in his bed after 14 years of rule. He usurped the crown from his cousin, Richard II. Most of his rule was spent quelling up risings, and struggling with national debt. He leaves the crown to his son, Henry V. In 1422 at the age 35 Henry V dies of illness after a long campaign. In his 9 years of rule he conquered much of France in a series of military exploits, primarily sieges. He leaves the crown to his infant son, Henry VI.

The Fiddler (Hand in Hand Chronicles) by kullman

Henry of Lancaster is the second son of a second born son. In short, he's destined to be nobody, and nothing. To tell the truth, he's fine with that. Anything is better than being bullied by his older brother and ignored by his parents. He's ready for a quiet life of anonymity. But England is about to be rocked by civil wars, and as the fate of kings hangs in the balance, only the strong will survive. Inspired by the true story of the man who would found a dynasty that would shape England's future for the next three hundred years.

This one takes place in the 1200s and early 1300s) Trigger/Content Warning: Extended psychological and physical abuse, a character experiences PTSD Throughout. Blood violence. Torture. Family issues, grief. A character exhibits suicidal ideation throughout. Fear and coping with PTSD are major themes.

Afterlife: Oblivion #Wattys2024 by astronomist

You die. Game over? Not quite. Welcome to the Afterlife Crucible. Every millennium, lost souls battle for a second shot at life. Forget everything you thought you knew about the afterlife. It's not pearly gates and harps - it's a ruthless gauntlet dreamed up by bored gods with a sick sense of humour. Your regrets become weapons, your sins are armour, and your secrets? Just ammo for your rivals. This is a no-holds-barred war where only the most devious spirits get to breathe again. You'll face nightmares that make Hell look like Disneyland, and opponents who'd sell their own mothers for a chance to win. Ready to fight for your life... after death? I sure as hell wasn't. There I was, barely keeping my head above water, when some prick decided to punch my ticket early. But let's face it - my chances of winning are slimmer than my ex's conscience. Who am I? Jane Doe. Just another dead girl in a sea of corpses... a junkie, a fuckup, a waste of oxygen. Or so I thought...

You Don't Want the Crown by kullman

Betrayal. Revenge. Murder. True Love. Knights. Princesses. Druids. Pirates. Madness. Gays. Magic. Intrigue. What more could you want from this darkly funny take on faerie tales? The old king is murdered. The crown prince is missing. Who in this diverse cast of characters is to blame? Is it the king's reluctant but dutiful wife? Is it the spiteful old queen? Is it the king's illegitimate son? What about the king's suspiciously loyal man-at-arms? Read and find out. Plenty of swashbuckling, magic, sarcasm, and plot twists await in the mythical land of Ulster. Trigger/Content warning: Violence, but primarily fantasy violence. Profanity throughout. Some brief crude humor. Some conversations and circumstances may be emotionally upsetting, primarily to do with parental abuse, as well as dysphoria. A character is stated to be suicidal, suicide is discussed. A character describes post-partum depression.
