The Box of Death: A Medieval Saga of Love, Legacy and Sacrifice (Tales of Castle Rory Book 1)

A BOX THAT SHOULD NEVER BE OPENEDIt’s AD 1263.Lord Rory of Hambrig has begun writing his journal. He does so as a man under strain – lord of a frontier shire and servant to a crown whose demands grow ever heavier. From the walls of Castle Rory, he watches over a fragile peace, knowing how easily it may fail.When a mysterious box arrives – unasked for, unexplained, and feared – Rory is drawn into a crisis that tests not only his judgement, but the very foundations of his rule. Across the River Hurogol, old claims to the land are stirring once more. Ancient agreements have been lost. Trust is thin. And the arrival of the King himself threatens to tip the balance beyond recovery.Yet the greatest burden lies within. In the quiet of his chamber, Rory sets down the truth as he sees it – his doubts, his loyalties, his fears for those he loves, and the weight of every decision that rests upon him. For the box is more than a rumour of death. It is a question that will not leave him: whether some things are better left unopened… and whether a man can ever escape the consequences of his choice.This is the beginning of a sweeping medieval chronicle – one life recorded across years and decades, shaped by love, loyalty, and the slow, relentless pull of legacy.In these first pages, the Lord of Hambrig does not yet know what lies ahead. But he will come to understand that the smallest moment, faithfully written, may echo far beyond his own time.And some doors, once opened, can never be closed.Tales of Castle Rory: A Medieval Saga of Love, Legacy and Sacrifice⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ "It continued to grab my attention and surprise me until the final page."⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ "This medieval fantasy gripped me from the start"⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ "This is an intricately worked tale, combining action, history and well-rounded characters"⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ "I found it difficult to put down"
