A story of adventure and friendship
What people are saying about The Guild of Salt and the King’s Messenger
“Robin Isard plunges us into a 12th century England riven with revolt and strife, where neighbours are suspected traitors and nobody can be trusted. With empathy and verve, Isard tells the tale of unlikely companions thrown together in a dangerous time of mistrust and violence. The Guild of Salt and the King's Messenger is a tale of high adventure, self-discovery, and the forging of lifelong friendships.”
— Matthew Harffy author of The Bernicia Chronicles
I’ve put my author and historical note here, rather than in the back of the book, not just to save paper but also, so I can add to it as I release more books
I’ve put my working bibliography here. This will change the more I write, but I hope other authors might find it useful.
From the back cover
AD 1173. England is on the brink of war. Loyalties are divided across the nation and nobody is safe.
Young acolyte, Ralph and his friend, Harold, are thrust into the chaos of the warring factions when they are tasked to deliver a vital message to the Royalist forces.
Esmé, a young noblewoman, sets out on a quest to recover her inheritance while escaping the greedy grasp of her betrothed.
The travellers’ paths cross, and they soon form an unlikely alliance. But as the enemy's agents close in, will the bond of their friendship prove strong enough when faced with the harsh realities and brutal savagery of a revolt against the most powerful man in the world, King Henry Plantagenet?
